had a failed military coup against the democratically elected Chávez, backed by the CIA and foreign corporations. They are undoubtedly going to try again now that Venezuela has gotten cosy with China. I think it makes a lot of sense to arrest people who are involved in planning things like that. Ortega was involved not only in the strike but also in the military coup, so MoveOn is hardly an adequate comparison.
And he's not a labour leader, he's working for ExxonMobil and the like.
Chávez should just turn the other cheek and relinquish the power then?
