Argentinean National Deputy, Alicia Castro, was designated by the Venezuelan National Elections Council (CNE) as an international observer of the signature drive in petition of a recall referendum on the mandate of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez. Regarding her observations, the legislator warned about ‘the possible fraud and manipulation in the collection of signatures’. With this in mind, we are publishing the report presented by Alicia Castro to the National Elections Council notifying them of the irregularities observed.

Gentlemen
NATIONAL ELECTIONS COUNCIL (N.E.C.)
OBSERVERS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES (O.A.S.)
CARTER CENTER

On November 28 in the city of Caracas, I participated as an accredited international observer by the NEC in the signature collection process in petition of a recall referendum on the mandate of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Commander Hugo Chávez. I was accompanied by an official from the NEC (Argenis), who could also report on the irregularities observed.

The places where I observed the signature collection tables were the following:

1. Avenue South 2. From Bárcena to Río. Quinta Crespo (next to Radio Caracas TV).
2. Ministry of Education.
3. Panteón Boulevard.
4. Parking of the Church Chiquinquirá. La Florida.
5. Los Ruices. Los Palos Grandes.

2. Is it just me or does this Chavez recall nonsense looks DOA? (nt)

3. It's not just you.

I am sort of interested in what the reading will be on
the pro-Chavez recalls.

4. Insults know no boundaries

I liked this part from the Chiquinquira Church:

"I brought my impressions about this true ‘privatization’ of the signature collection process to the Coordinator of the Table, Mr. Juan Carlos Calderón.

In this same place, I also suffered verbal aggressions by the signors, who began to yell that they did not need international observers and also uttered insults"

So nice to know that neoconservatives speak the same language in different countries. :eyes:

7. We need some of those International Observers here in the Empire

But we won't get them. The Imperial Family will not allow light cast upon their shadows...
