Live! The implosion of the opposition alliance

Well, that was faster than expected.


So the day started with the sworn AD governors at a press conference.  They said it had to be cut short becasue they had to take a plane. But lo' and behold!  The woman went to TV for some interview (I think) and the 3 guys went to Miraflores Palace to have a nice and pleasant chat with Maduro, and the real power behind the throne, Cilia Flores.

While this was taking place Ramos Allup was preparing his press conference. A monument of cynicism and lies or a vile attempt at justifying something that cannot be justified.  There he said that the 4 governors "self-excluded" themselves from AD (saving Ramos from "excluding" them himself?)  He spoke like a chavista, claiming it was all a conspiracy against him and his party AD. 

Somewhere else the 5th governor who refused to go to the illegal constitutional assembly, Guanipa, said that Ramos called him to convince him to go to the swear him. Ramos denied that.  There is a liar. I pick Ramos but what do I know....

And to close the morning Capriles went to his own press conference where he said all sorts of nasty things (replying to the nastiness of Ramos). More Importantly he announced that he was leaving the MUD alliance as long as Ramos was in it.  Note: he said that it was a personal decision, not involving his party PJ. Yeah, right....

[Some other background noises from assorted figures]

By then I had decided to quit for the day......
