TalCual: Repression in Venezuela? Are You Serious?
We thought that the Ombudswoman could not ever surpass herself, as to the degree of submission to the Government, but we were wrong. Gabriela Ramírez said on Wednesday that no arrests have been made during peaceful protests nationwide, since these must strictly stick to containing violence. “I’m saying this because the Ombudsman Office has monitored all the peaceful demonstrations and none has had any problems at all; demonstrators have also counted on the protection of the nation’s law enforcement bodies,” said Ramírez. But facts prove otherwise.

But facts prove otherwise.
Just as Ramírez gave a definition of what she considered torture a few months ago, with the express intention of justifying and defending the repression unleashed by the government of Nicolás Maduro over students and everyone else who dares to protest against his administration, now she is doing the same exact thing. According to Ramírez, students camping out at Plaza Alfredo Sadel in Las Mercedes or Chacao (both located in Caracas) were protesting violently.
Neither were protesting violently those who had set up their tents across the Francisco de Miranda avenue in Caracas, although this lady believes that the fact of blocking a street is a violent action and people doing so deserve to be robbed at gunpoint in the middle of the night. It wouldn’t surprise us if Ramírez requested the Government to decorate Miguel Rodríguez Torres, the Minister of the Interior, for carrying out such a risky operation.
The Ombudswoman has had a consistent performance. She plays a key role for the PSUV (the Government’s party) and acts accordingly. Constitutional rights and guarantees for those against the revolutionary process are not within her purview. Her trade is practically that of ignoring half of the Venezuelan population. We would only like to remind her about article 29 of the Constitution, which stipulates that violations to human rights are not subject to statutes of limitation. Does she think she is untouchable?
