Aleksander Boyd von Venezuela Crisis: On Chavez´s closure of Venezuela´s largest TV network
“However sincere the resolutions and letters condemning the act, on Monday morning, when RCTV´s right to broadcast is illegally terminated, Chavez will still be the ultimate icon of the world´s resented imbeciles and those concerned about the loss of another democratic right in Venezuela will carry on with the business of il dolce far niente at taxpayers´ expense. Toothless multilateral bodies have, as Chavez, lost all legitimacy. Its condemnations mean jackshit in the real world. The future looks bleak in Venezuela, that much is certain and has, at last, been properly understood by democrats around the globe, whom are seen in the side of reason, in the side of rule of law.”
