RICO’s Q – From Johnny Schmidt C: “We see striking similarities between the two countries today and what happened in the southern nation in 1999. Of course, both came to power democratically with the support of the electorate, but once in power, the story was almost identical: constant attacks on other branches of government, oversight institutions, the media, and the electoral body. But what was the purpose of all this in Venezuela? Simply put, to lay the groundwork for what would come next: a new constitution that would allow him to seize complete power for the following decades, as indeed happened. Chávez poisoned the Venezuelan people, blaming everything bad on those who came before, like Caldera, Pérez, Campins, Lusinchi, and Velásquez, who, along with the media and the rhetoric against all institutions, allowed a dictatorship to be established that has now lasted 25 years without the people being able to reverse the worst decision they ever made. The Venezuelan Chávez dies and they put Maduro in power, and here (in Costa Rica) Chaves intends to temporarily impose his immaturity on us so he can return later. I’m not making this up; it’s been said repeatedly. And to be able to modify the constitution, they need 40 legislators. Of course, we should all be worried and scared about what’s happening… because, I repeat, everything we’ve seen in these three and a half years is a carbon copy of what Venezuelans already experienced in the first years of the Chávez-Maduro dictatorship. Laura Fernández is not a leader, she is a liar and a fraud, but for the Chaves-Cisneros plan she is ideal because they can manipulate her at will to complete their plan and seize power from all spheres, eliminating checks and balances, oversight institutions, the media, and eliminating the opposition. Conscious Costa Rican: I cannot believe that some of you want this for Costa Rica, and although I understand your enormous annoyance and animosity towards Arias, Calderón, Chinchilla, Solís, and Alvarado, and towards the press and institutions, this is because you have been injected with too much poison every Wednesday, and you have been made to believe that you could have something much better, that everything bad is their fault, the fault of their parties, the press, the institutions, and you have failed to see that they are leading us straight to something very bad from which it would take us many years to recover. Every four years we have the opportunity to go to the polls to correct our course or to make big mistakes that we could always correct in the next election, but at this crucial moment in our nation’s history, we are being led into a dead end… We made mistakes in 2014 and 2018, we made mistakes again in 2022, but the worst mistakes and errors could happen in 2026 if we do not stop the attempt to lead us directly to a dictatorship.
