NO + Chávez: April 11th in Tallinn and the World
"After almost 10 years of division, lies, fraud, corruption, unemployment, dishonesty, insecurity; the great nation of Venezuela unites among one shout to the World: No + (No more)"
This is the first sentence you will find in the Blog http://nomorechavez-concentration.blogspot.com
Maybe after listening the name of Venezuela, you will start to make association with Miss Universes or Soap Operas. But the current reality of Venezuela doesn't resemble glamorous contest nor love stories, but it can be more easily compared to the life in eastern Europe during the Soviet Union.
No More Who?
Hugo Rafael Chávez Frias, current re-elected president of Venezuela has been the head of the country after winning the Presidential elections in 1999, elections in which there was an abstention of the 37% of the voting population.
Hugo Rafael Chávez Frias has a military career that lasted 17 years, during which time he held a variety of posts including command and staff positions, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Chávez also held a series of teaching and staffing positions at the Military Academy of Venezuela, where he was first acknowledged by his peers for his fiery lecturing style and radical critique of Venezuelan government and society.
In 1983, Chávez established the Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement-200 (MBR-200). After an extended period of popular dissatisfaction and economic decline under the administration of President Carlos Andrés Pérez, Chávez made extensive preparations for a military coup d'état that took place on February 4th 1992 but was not successful.
After a two-years imprisonment, Chávez was pardoned by President Rafael Caldera in 1994. Upon his release, Chávez reconstituted the MBR-200 as the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR—Movimiento Quinta República, with the V representing the Roman numeral five). Later, in 1998, Chávez began to campaign for the presidency.
In 1999, after being elected, Chávez scheduled two national elections for July 1999, including a referendum for and elections to fill a new constitutional assembly. Once again, Chávez won the elections for making the changes in the constitution this time under a 56% of abstention.
During the upcoming years there has been different happenings during Chávez government that have kept Venezuela under a high political, economical and social tension, being some of the most relevant facts in the middle of 2007 the non-renewal of the signal of a private TV channel, Radio Caracas Television (RCTV) which was immediately used to broadcast the new Venezuelan Social TV channel TVes . This action is being considered by many Venezuelans and by many countries around the world as a big attempt against democracy and the freedom of speech in this country.
Why April 11th
In early 2002, Chávez's attempts to reform the state oil company, PDVSA, by increasing the degree of government control over the company were met with massive resistance from PDVSA officials and managers. Tensions between the Chávez government and PDVSA management continued to escalate through March and early April, culminating on April 8, 2002, when Chávez theatrically fired seven top PDVSA executives (and several other managers of lesser status) during a televised address. The fired PDVSA managers received immediate support from the private media and the upper and middle classes.
On April 9, 2002, the Confederación de Trabajadores de Venezuela (CTV) — the country's largest trade-union federation — called for a two-day strike. Fedecámaras - group of chambers of commerce in twelve basic trade groups: banking, agriculture, commerce, construction, energy, manufacturing, media, mining, ranching, insurance, transportation, and tourism - joined the strike/lockout and called on all of its affiliated member businesses to shut down for 48 hours.
Two days later (April 11th 2002) an estimated 180,000 to 200,000 people marched to the PDVSA headquarters in defense of its recently-dismissed management board.
Then, organizers decided to re-route the march to Miraflores, the presidential palace, where a pro-Chávez demonstration was taking place.
Several times in the early afternoon during the march, Chávez took to the airwaves of the collective public and private media to broadcast public announcements and addresses. Some of the broadcasts asked protesters to return to their homes, while others featured lengthy pre-recorded discourses led by the president. The last of these government broadcasts began just minutes after shots were fired at the crowds of protesters and continued throughout the massacre.
The private television stations defied the government broadcast by splitting the screen between the president's address and scenes of bloodshed.
Chávez then ordered private outlets to be taken off the air in a forced blackout. The measure managed to block coverage of the crisis in Caracas only, as the private television stations continued to broadcast in the rest of the country and via satellite.
On April 11th 2002, during the shooting against the protesters, twenty people were killed and more than 100 wounded.
Estonia joining the Global Concentration
Estonia will also be participant in the No + (more) Chavez Global Concentration that will be held on April 11th starting time 15:00 in the afternoon.
This is a totally pacific and informative concentration that will take place in Tallinn's Center at the surroundings of Tammsaare Park.
The voices of those who are affected by Hugo Chavez and his anti-democratic measures will be heard also in Estonia!
