Un lavado de cerebro mediático acompañó al cierre patronal y al sabotaje petrolero que arrancó en diciembre de 2002: durante dos meses y medio, día tras día, semana tras semana, mes tras mes, todas las radios y televisoras privadas cambiaron sus programas ordinarios por un continuo llamado a derrocar al gobierno legítimo. Éste contaba sólo con una televisora y una radio, sin alcance nacional. Con el apoyo del pueblo resistió hasta que el paro patronal se disolvió por si mismo. El bolivarianismo no podía esperar otro asalto desarmado. Repotenció Radio Nacional y Venezolana de Televisión, inició una política de creación de emisoras de servicio público y también alternativas, libre y comunitarias, e inauguró Telesur. (

The West has form in this regard, of course. Recall how when it comes to the Crimean referendum, held in March 2014, the West declared it «unconstitutional» and thereby illegal, proving once again that if hypocrisy was an Olympic sport, Washington and its European allies would dominate the medals podium every four years. The toppling by force of the last legitimately elected Ukrainian government of Viktor Yanukovich in February 2014, an illegal and unconstitutional violation of Ukrainian democracy and sovereignty given the role of the EU and US in supporting it, will go down as the point at which the mask of democracy was removed from both.
