dam my country is getting closer to Cuba

[<RJMC>]

today I hear in the national news about a law that the damed goverment of my country want to aprove

is called "ley de control cultural" (cultural control law or some shit like that)

and the points are

dont show violence in since the 5 am to the 11 pm even if is a notice (news)
also dont show things like 2 people in a bed in the day,also things that show independient show or programs in especific hours,thats mean that the channels must show programs by the goverment, I think that say that atleast 10 hours a week apart of the boring cadenas (cadenas are like a press conference were the president start to talk,but just say bullshit and last HOURS) also that the media must face a mult of millions of Bolivares (Bolivares is the money of my country,I think the mult is 700.000.000 Bolivares) if they show something against the goverment

so you think this is something democratic?

this goverment has been against the media since a long time
for example I remenber that in the protest the chavist (chavez follower,president follower) always attack the reporters and try to take the cameras
even was a case were some reporters was inside a car and the chavist open the backcase door to enter and steal the cameras
and when a humor show pass a episode when they made jokes about the goverment the chavist sorruond the offices of the channels and menace the people inside

also was days where chavist star to shoot protester people in the street, in the middle of the street!,and thats happen 2 times
the most recently was some months ago where a litle group of chavist start to shoot protesters in a street,a old woman die ,the goverment say that they will put them to jail BUT 2(or 1) years ago in a protest some chavist start to shoot protester from a brigde,I saw the video and the shooters were wearing goverments shirts,and you know what the goverment do?!
the goverment give them a medal cuz "they were defending the revolution"

all this make me angry and I am not the only one

I hope everything gets better

That sucks.

They should allow you to voice your opinions. At least you can voice your opinion on HL2.net. Hopefully the situation in your country will change soon.

Well, I don't know how things work over there, but over here we contact our MP (local government representative). I would also write to any newspapers, and if there was enough support, perhaps go on a demonstration in the streets?
