If there is democracy because they lose their rights?



The regime of Hugo Chavez always holds that the best example of what democracy is Venezuela during his disastrous management and spends an impressive amount of money on advertising campaigns across the international community by repeating the lie that anything resembling reality.
During the past eleven years there are a lot of cases that demonstrate the loss of the rights of Venezuelans who do not support the regime, which is why we see the large number of exiles who had to leave the country to safeguard their physical integrity and political prisoners who are illegally detained by a corrupt regime that uses the court system to keep them captive. But recently there are two very important cases that leave even more evident the totalitarianism of the regime. The first is the case of National Guard Captain Juan Carlos Nieto Quintero, expelled from the national armed forces only for the simple fact to express their concern through the established legal methods for the misuse of the National Armed Forces and the presence of Cuban elements within the military. The answer was their expulsion from the institution. General should be asked Dominguez Mota, current Commander of the National Guard, if the expulsion of this officer was legal and where is the democracy and respect for the rights enshrined in the National Contitucion.
same situation applies to the case of union leader Ruben Gonzalez, recently convicted only by the fact heed the call of their protest led to vindication and better wages. If unions can not protest, then I wonder where democracy of which so much talk? The simple answer is there and we are in front of a corrupt and totalitarian regime that criminalizes the protest and the right to oppose the revolution of the XXI century.
As time passes, the increasing radicalization and started playing the ordinary citizen, which is starting to feel the onslaught of the dictator. Given this fact alone is the first non-violent civil resistance to stop the regime, but only if we act collectively and united in one goal.
The big question would be, if and society is prepared to fight for their freedom and future of their generations of relief, in a country where democracy is supposed to but every day there are less rights.
