Consolidation of a power can finish with The Human Rights

       Venezuela, a country located in South America, has been guided and governed by Hugo Chavez for 13 years, during which he has organized the country as he wants, trying to make it be socialist government. The problem lie, in the way Mr. Hugo Chavez is acting with his opponents, surpassing the same law.               

          Since 2nd of February, in 1998, when Chavez took control of Venezuela, he started doing as many things as he could to" turn around" the country. However, he has been putting the law in his favor, achieving and punishing all those who are not with him. As a consequence a recent survey's report of the Human Rights Watch presented in Washington indicates that Venezuela has increased the activities and actions that undermine the majority of human rights.

           In the Colombian newspaper "El Tiempo" - which translated means "The Time" - an article was published called "The ONG said the Human Rights situation in Venezuela has become "precarious" ". Principally, it says all the abuses have been done specifically by the government; and is reflected in the judicial branch. Also the ONG thinks of the accumulation of power and removal of the constitutional guarantees give to Chavez government free reign to intimidate, censor, and prosecute. The writer shows his disappointing view about Chavez’ procedures through different arguments such as judges put in jail for do not follow Chavez unfairness and his requirements, and with some channels censured like RTCI.

          On the other hand there is the American new media, CNSNews, which redacted an article about this topic and shares the opinion of the Colombian post. It mentions some parts of the report given by the Human Rights Watch, justifying with clear examples how Chavez and his allies have been wrongly acting Moreover, the author talks about one of the most important topics at the moment: Henrique Capriles, the current presidential centrist candidate who has received the nicknames “Mama’s Boy“ and “Tool of the Yankee Imperialist” by his opponent, Chaves. The article stresses what the Americas director for Human Rights Watch, Jose Miguel Vivanco,  said : confronting the situation and trying to become president won’t be easy work due to the big consolidation of the power , this idea makes the citizens,  and more than one country,  have expectations about the future.

                     As far as I’m concerned the Venezuelan government has taken power and rights which don’t belong to it, causing and showing to the world the lost of the moral and ethical values as a result of a president who doesn’t care about the necessities and rights of the citizens. Furthermore, in my opinion it is unacceptable to see how one person has the ability to  throw justice away or in the worst case, to take the human rights in his hands, restricting the free right the liberty and the right of the information.
