Fugitive Rosales “Regrets” Having Signed Coup Decree in 2002

Fugitive from the Venezuelan justice system, Manuel Rosales expressed regret for having signed the coup decree which dissolved all public powers in the country on April 2002, during the brief dictatorship of businessman Pedro Carmona.

“My utmost regret is having signed the Carmona decree,” Rosales said nine years after the media, political and economic far right sector overthrew the democratically elected president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.

According to Rosales, he wasn't "familiar with" the decree read publicly in a meeting he attended at the Miraflores Presidential Palace, in Caracas, when dictator Carmona proclaimed himself president of the Republic.

However, secretary general of the opposition party Democratic Action, Henry Ramos Allup, confessed, in an interview with the newspaper “Ciudad CCS”, that all political and economic sectors who planned the coup d"état in 2002 were acquainted with the content of the decree a week earlier.
