Some truths that they want to hide today

President Chávez was accused a priori for the people who died in the march: they did not even mention the participation of the Metropolitan Police (PM at that moment, this police was ruled by the Metropolitan Major’s Office, led by pro-opposition major Alfredo Peña) and the snipers.

The media, basing on the manipulation of images, showed “their version” of what happened in Llaguno Bridge, and accused a group of people aligned to the government for the deaths.
Months later, thanks to the videos and photographs of independent reporters, the truth emerged.

Otto Neustadtl admits manipulations of his videos

The Peruvian journalist Otto Neustadtl was working at CNN en Español in Venezuela: months after the coup d´État he was invited to a forum on journalism in the Universidad Bicentenaria de Aragua (Bicentennial University of Aragua) Aragua state (weast of Caracas).

In this event, he told his story about the coup d’État. He explained that on April 10th he received a phone call (later on he did not say who called him) and he was told: “Otto: tomorrow 11, there will be a video of Chávez, the march is going to Miraflores Presidential Palace, there will be some deaths and there will also be a group of 20 military members asking for the resigning of the President (…).”

Tomorrow morning, Neustadtl relates, they tell me: “We don’t know anymore if there are 20 military or more who are going to show themselves against Chávez; but it’s still an important number of high officers who are going to ask Chávez to resign; and everything is as it was programmed: there will be a video, some deaths, military will speak.”

Once this video was showed in Neustadtl’s conference in Maracay, he said that the audio-visual material had been manipulated by the government in order to give their opinions a political side. Nevertheless, he ratified the facts he narrated in the university.

During his confessions and the planning of the number of deaths and the detour of the pro-opposition march from Chuao towards Miraflores on April 11; he also mentioned a person who was responsible of transcribing the communiqué through which some military demanded President Chávez to resign.

In fact, the communiqué was read by the Vice-admiral Hector Ramírez and on April 12 he was named Defense Minister of Carmona Estanaga government. “I was with these persons, with the people who showed themselves against President Chávez, I stayed with them at least for two hours before the deaths started,” he said.

Neustadtl narrated that the conversations he heard while being with them. “The things I heard among them: “Has the building been controlled? Yes, it’s done. Do we take planes out? No, don’t do that since we need the people in the streets. I had recorded the proof, but unfortunately I don’t have it anymore. By that proof you can see that they talk about deaths when there are not.” (i.e. They talked about the deaths before the deaths occurred, which shows that they were planned by the opposition.)

1. Found this video in a search on Otto Neustadtl. Unfortunately, it's all in Spanish.

If there's anyone who speaks Spanish who's got almost 14 minutes who wants to listen to it and give a brief summary of what it's about, it might be very interesting.

I did a google translation on the title of the video, and it comes out: "Journalists admit helped insurrection 11."

(Periodistas admiten ayudaron en insurrección 11)
