Chávez: Hay contrarrevolucionarios en el sector eléctrico

El presidente Hugo Chávez, durante el acto con los trabajadores del sector eléctrico transmitido en cadena nacional, anunció el comienzo de la "revolución eléctrica" de cara a la superación de la emergencia energética que afecta al país.

A su juicio, en el sector hay "contrarrevolucionarios ocupando cargos claves". Aseguró que esa situación culminará "sin cacería de brujas".

El jefe de Estado considera que las últimas irregularidades en Planta Centro han sido por saboteo. Al respecto, ordenó la colocación de "una unidad permanente" y señaló que estaba coordinando esfuerzos con el General Clíver Alcalá, el Ejército y la Guardia Nacional.

Por último, instó a los trabajadores del sector eléctrico que patrullen las instalaciones para evitar el sabotaje.

1. I feel sorry for those guys who work in the power plants

This must be like when they had problems in Stalin's Soviet Union, they used to find victims to blame for problems caused by Stalin himself. Stalin was quite ruthless, and killed millions. Our Cuban advisor who is an expert in electricity shortages must be giving the type of advice he's well known for. So now they'll go after the people who work in the power plants. I suppose once the refineries start to fail they'll blame the management there as well.

2. The Cuban adviser Valdés, you mean the guy who repressed gay people in the 60's, 70's and 80's?

People who are familiar with Cuba will remember the reorientation policies for gay people in the 60's, el Quinquenio Gris in the 70's, etc.

Concerning the permanent sabotage speech: Pseudo-leftists with fascistoid fantasies such as having their ultra-centralized state's president on TV every day while calling him/her my Commander will probably try to defend this internal enemy ® bullshit as they have always done here.

It's human nature. I guess we're lucky we're not about to be invaded by the Mongols.
