Violence? Civil War? Military Coup?

The second day now of clanging pots and pans all over the country. I am away from my home trying to flee the horrible mood at the compound. The vice-president of the compound resigned this morning after having received verbal insults and threats from some of my neighbors with Madurist sympathies. I am so angry at the violence, the fascist attitude of this regime, that I cannot believe that some of the European left are still supporting Maduro and his thugs (who seriously wounded an opposition MP in a parliament session today). I really cannot believe that the democratic countries are still waiting - for what? The votes won't be recounted. Capriles is unable to speak to the nation. His protest march due for tomorrow had to be cancelled because Maduro forbade it. The ones who call Capriles and his followers fascists, are a textbook example of what crude fascism really is.

From Venezuela I call upon the world, as long as I am still able to access Blogger, to start moving against this regime. We have no proof yet that Maduro's powerful state apparatus left behind by Chavez, has cheated in the election. But the smoking guns are everywhere, and the regime's reaction to insistent calls to come clear and out into the open, are repression, threats and insults, all encased by a approaching economic catastrophe.

This could mean to a certain extent widespread civil unrest, although I don't see any real civil war erupt in Venezuela. But the military have been strangely silent these days. Many sense something is cooking over there. It won't be the first time in Venezuelan history the army steps in with an own agenda.
