Es ist kaum zu bestreiten, dass es autoritäre Demokratien gab und gibt. Es ist aber doch interessant, dass die meisten illiberalen Systeme letzten Endes doch auch antidemokratisch sind. Liberalismus und Demokratie sind zwar nicht identisch, aber eben doch aufeinander angewiesen.
Diese Website beschäftigt sich mit Wahlmanipulation in Venezuela und kommt zu eindeutigen Ergebnissen: The Systematic Annihilation of the Right to Vote in Venezuela
“This document chronicles how the CNE’s bias came about and the violation of the fundamental principles that define the right to vote (impartiality, transparency and confidence in the secrecy of the ballot), along with summaries of papers presented by distinguished professionals and scientists regarding the official electoral results and the REP since RR 04. Finally we conclude that the official electoral results display critical irregularities and do not reflect the will of the people. If the total balance within the CNE is not restored to guarantee the right to integral supervision of elections, a new REP is not created and the essential information made available to all parties, the government will have closed off elections as the ideal medium through
which to alternate our representatives and resolve our political conflicts.”
