Dozen people answered to the call by the National Front for Political Prisoners' Freedom and rallied in Luis Roche and Francisco de Miranda Avenues, Caracas metropolitan area, to protest strongly at "totalitarian, populist" action concerning land and businesses takeover by the national government.

During the three-hour rally, opposition followers blew whistles, banged pots and chanted mottos such as "People, grow up, this is a dictatorship!" and "Out with communism!" Some carried placards which read "Venezuela has been seized since August 16th, 2004;" "The recall referendum was also confiscated," and "Marqueseña, do not let yourself to be seized."

Patricia Poleo, one of the organizers, urged President Hugo Chávez "to listen to the pots" that banged last Sunday to refuse "totalitarian actions" and recommended him to "apportion all wastelands in the government hands."

"What about giving the people the lands you and your family have?" the journalist wondered.

Both the leader Antonio Ledezma, the leader of Alianza Bravo Pueblo, and Eddy Ramírez, the representative of Gente del Petróleo, agreed to call "demagogic, populist and unconstitutional" land takeover. The move, in their view, will endanger peasants, producers and consumers.

At the beginning of the protest, Oscar Pérez, the representative of the Front for Political Prisoners' Freedom, claimed that police officers were infiltrated into the demonstration in order to disrupt it.
