Another giant and fascist step to nowhere by the revolution In another concrete and visionary act, the Venezuelan National Assembly today approved in its first discussion the Bill for the change of Patriotic Symbols. The main changes will be the addition of one more star to the flag to symbolize the area being claimed by Venezuela from British Guyana (Which has little to do with the other seven stars which symbolize the original provinces) and the change suggested by the little girl that can not be mentioned to have the horse look more dynamic and looking towards the left. The Deputies also decided to forbid the use of any of the symbols in “public concentrations” or “political propaganda”, imposing fines on their use. This is just another fascist twist to Chavista policies. Curiously, it was Chavez himself that campaigned using the flag in 1998, until the opposition simply “stole” the flag as a symbol of Chavismo. Just imagine all of the money that will be spent by the Government in order to make these changes. Money that could be spent elsewhere in more positive steps to help the people of Venezuela. So could the time of the Deputies be spent in doing more important things than sucking up to Chavez and his unmentionable daughter. More revolutionary BS, more waste of money, more waste of time, more fascism. Another giant step to nowhere by the fake revolution. What else is new? P.S: For those that speak Spanish here is another good take on the same topic by Venezolano Puro . 10:05:15 PM    comment []
