Thank you.
I think in approaching issues of human rights it's usually true to say that all countries have issues of concern. But I'm a little bit concerned by the fact that the overwhelming presentations by witnesses today have been so much part of the Chávez fan club that it's very difficult to ask questions of substance.
There have been numerous reports from several credible human rights organizations complaining about the concentration of power of Mr. Chávez and also the shrinking of space for the opposition. And there's the closing of the opposition radio and television. The intimidation of dissent is taking place as well.
These are also the words that were uttered by one of the respectable members of DFAIT who came to make a presentation before us, and also several witnesses on the ground. Yet I have not heard any comment about that whatsoever. So it's very difficult to ask questions when the picture is so rosy about Venezuela.
Is there anything you see at all that's happened, other than from the opposition? Because it seems that all the problems seem to come from the opposition, not from the government. But is there anything you see of concern, both on the issue of concentration of power and about the fact of the intimidation of the opposition?
