Pots against bullets

This are the weapons of a pacific people

To quote the title of an article from "El Universal" a news paper from Venezuela, I think this title embodies the first days of this week for the Venezuelan people, after rightfully so, contender Henrique Capriles Radonsky asked to do the recount of the votes, because on presidential election days, there were more than 3000 irregularities during the process that tainted the entire elections. 

He ask the venezuelan people to step out and show their discontent, to manifest our need for justice and clarity on a process that from the very beginning was dominated by the power of the government, the abuse of the state communicational resources, and even so in the hour of truth the government contender manage to lose more than 700.000 voters, in just 10 days of campaign.

But when Henrique Capriles ask the people to manifest their discontent he ask to do so peacefully, to take our pots and clap them, so hard to world to hear and then...the violence came. 

People were attack and repressed  by factions supporting the government and even by the military, this took the lives of 7 people, and many were hurt, houses that belongs to a political party were under attack on different cities of the country, offices of newspapers and even member of our parliament were attack, because they wouldn't recognized the new government, that it's not freedom of speech, a democracy warranty, what else can we think when this level of repression are found on a country??...This was supposed to be a pacifist movement, and others tainted it with blood, and try to blame us and made us see as violent people. 

This are many of the thinks our military did

It's a disgrace for a country to see their own military attacking its people when they don't have anything to defend themselves. I feel for my country, and my condolences to the families of the deceased. It really it's a hard time for us, but we still persevered, we went home, but we're still being heard, everyday at 8.00 o'clock the sound of our pots resound in Venezuela. 

Because a picture speaks a thousand words

And today will be the biggest yet...we need to show how the illegitimate President is not wanted!! Today it's the best day of all, a day that for us marked the beginning of our Independence from the Spanish rule on 1810, and now it's to marked our Independence from forces working against everything our country stand for, forces that want to take what it's from Venezuela for them, forces that already have made Venezuela suffer for 14 years. Now more than ever we need to be heard, and our pacific fight shall continue until we're freed from Nicolas The Brief, The Illegitimate.
