For me it's kinda unbelievable, that this is happening. I mean, why isn't it possible in the 21st century to just live free? (I mean, democracy is another thing, but basic freedoms and, dunno, food or at least so much money, you're able to live an okay life should be normal in my naive mind)

*sigh* Indeed.

Ah, Colonia Tovar... a little piece of Germany in South America. Went there once in 2011. It's a really pictoresque place, and really looks like a small town in rural Germany. Quite a shame there was a protest there, and that the protest was then repressed.

@Ryccia: Look, as I said, the Government will not budge unless the Army turns against them. I don't think they will organize elections, neither now nor next year. There were supposed to be regional and local elections last year, and of course, they never took place.
