| Capriles: Recall vote or constitution amendment will stop social upheaval |
| 2016-02-25 |
| [ELUNIVERSAL] During an interview with private TV news channel Globovisión, Miranda state governor Henrique Capriles said, "My proposal is a recall referendum or a constitutional amendment to avoid a social explosion or a coup," in reference to the current situation in Venezuela. Recalling whom? The legislature or Maduro? Or both? "The person who governs the country must be aware of the social reality and the needs of the population (...) We are not a middle-class nation. Most Venezuelans are poor," Capriles stressed. That could be taken as a dig at Maduro... Similarly, the governor noted that the country's social, economic and political "recovery" involves "a lot of effort and work." It's getting a little late for "recovery" efforts. The first step is to round up all the Bolivarians. That isn't going to happen peacefully. |
