Chávez lashes out at people rejecting his 26 decrees-laws
Politics
President Hugo Chávez criticized once again the opposition
for trying to complain before international organizations
against his 26 decrees-laws. "They may go to the celestial
court or rather to the court of hell, where they already have
a hearing scheduled. These laws are for our country," said
Chávez during a mandatory simultaneous radio and TV broadcast
aired on Thursday afternoon.
Chávez maintained that, unlike him, those who oppose
to the laws-decrees do not have their own national project
because their project has been created by the United States.
"Their project does not belong to them but to the empire;
it is a failed project. Just see what happens in the world;
read the real news, not the ones you publish," said the Venezuelan
leader, who devoted part of his speech to make comments about
economic recession in the United States.
Despite his harsh words against the government of George
W. Bush, Chávez said he hoped to reestablish relations
with the next President of the US, based on mutual respect.
