Thursday 17, June 2004 - It was not a good day for chavismo. Not only a few of their covers were blown away but their reactions to these events was really not the best way to counter such a public relations debacle.

The news were centered around the Human Rights Watch (HRW) report on the Judicial system in Venezuela, report strong enough that it lead the HRW to call for application of the democratic chart of the Americas to Venezuela. The rest, well, it was the ill tempered reactions of Venezuelan officials that thought they would never be denounced so publicly, so "gotcha!". And it did not help that other news gave very appropriately further examples of the lack of restraint from the chavista administration.
