ok, problem is the government controls all this, don't they? Are they're going to accept a manual recount? Another question, weren't there international observers? Did another country reported  irregularities like Capriles is saying?

Yes, of course not, yes they were and the ones who don't get Venezuelan's oil for free like Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia, just to put examples, but they were in ''key'' voting centers and those were not attacked they're not that stupid, yet they of course are in favor of a recount.

Interesting. The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (that is a think-tank of our german conservative party and tends to be more supportive for opposition to Chavez/PSUV) has analyzed the current situation in Venezuela. They say Maduro first spoke about recount, then Capriles joined into this demand. They say, that the institutions of control, including a manual recount that is normal for more than 50% of votes anyway make a systematic fraud big enough to change the result unlikely. They say, the main reason for Capriles to attack the result of the election is to weaken the government of Maduro from the beginning.

Anyway, I'm personally not so positive about this. As Capriles joined the coup in 2002 I think he is willing to use violence to get to the power.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think Maduro is the right man for Venezuela, he is as bad as Capriles. Venezuela will face tough times in the future, regardless which side will be in control.

They (Capriles and Maduro) spoke before the results were revealed and they say (Maduro said it in his first spech, it's recorded) that they both agreed to do a recount, then Maduro comes out the other day with a totally different spech and says that he's ''not going to loose more time'' and by any means is going to do a recount -- then the boy sends the National guard to attack unnarmed civilians, and his bikers to destroy private (and public) property, says that ''No matter what i'm not going to let them get into Caracas (center)'' when Capriles had announced a march to the council to ask for a recount (and Chavez NEVER prohibited any march to the opposition or said they couldn't get to a certain point), says to the media ''Pick on which side you are and don't get it wrong...'', says he's going to ''radicalize'' the revolution if nescesaty and that he's gonna kill the coup pepetrators and fascists with the power of the revolution and makes the 6th ''control Judge'' emit a capture order against Governor Capriles and his ally Lopez for terrorism. Listen, a man who speaks with hatred every single time can not be leader of any country -- Capriles did a great job as governor until the governmet said they were not giving him more resources, here in Venezuela we're not in a position to pick the best option but the less bad and that is Capriles, he made almost a million of Chavez's supporters vote for him and i have no doubt he won the elections if this wasn't the case Maduro would not be so afraid, he made it clear yesterday that he lost, he attacks because that's what happens he is afraid and attacks us but we will stand still and the truth will be revealed.
