Carlos Chancellor: “ was allowed me to postulate like candidate ” to me

As if one was a prophecy, it was possible to be known that the councilmen of the municipality located to the south of the state Bolivar, had moved to Guayana City to administer an oath just the elect mayor.

The first decision of Chancellor as mayor went to designate to the civil servants of his cabinet and to name like “second the control” to his wife, Carmen de Chancellor.

In agreement with article 87 of the Statutory law of the Municipal Public Power, “the temporary absences of the mayor or mayoress will be replaced by the civil servant of high level of direction, that he himself or she herself designates. If the absence were by a greater period of fifteen days continuous, will have to ask for authorization to the Municipal Council. If the temporary lack extends by more than ninety days consecutive, the Municipal Council, with the analysis of the circumstances that constitute the reasons of the absence, it will declare if it must be considered like absolute absence”.

The new mayor limited that the members of the Municipal Council of Sifontes made “voluntarily” the decision to administer an oath it due to the anarchy that was reigning in the municipality by the “emptiness of being able”.

Following actions
Chancellor informed that next it will meet with his lawyers to discuss the actions that will be taken after the custom-made substitute precautionary rejection from freedom to their favor.

According to the ex- councilman the judge had argued that had not changed the conditions to grant the conditional freedom to him, “which is incredible if it considers itself that I was elect mayor of the Sifontes municipality with an absolute majority”.

He remembered that in several opportunities he asked for himself, through office, the revision of measurement, but that in this opportunity had to consider their condition of mayor.

“he allowed himself me to postulate to me as candidate and the Electoral National Council misestimated the opposition introduced by Marlene Vargas and I were winning in the electoral fight, clear that the conditions have changed”.

Over signallings of his companions of party, who assure that he is a political prisoner of the governor Francisco Rangel Go'mez, preferred not to go deep in the subject. He only limited himself to say that their majors discussions and conflicts had not been with regional Head of State, but with the managers of the Crystallex company.

They violate right of the “sovereign”

He thinks that they are showing no mercy in his against?

- Indeed an extreme cruelty in my exists against and against all the town of the Sifontes municipality, it tries to irrespetar the will of the majority of which they voted by me. I do not know who or what hides behind all this, but what yes I know it is that who are acting in my con has been the lawyers of the company and not the governor of the state Bolivar, Francisco Rangel Go'mez.

You consider a political prisoner?

- I believe that my case many elements entered game, factors of all type, including economic politicians and.

Carlos Chancellor insists on which it will exhaust all the mechanisms and it will appeal to all the instances for “fulfilling a popular mandate”. “Imprisoned or I am not the mayor of the Sifontes municipality, chosen by an overwhelming majority”.
