[3] The Office of the Special Rapporteur received information that on February 14, 2004, President Hugo Chávez threatened to take control of the antennas that broadcast the signal of Globovisión and Venevisión if the opposition carried out activities similar to those of April 11, 2002, when there was a coup d'etat. After the recall referendum, the elections director, Jorge Rodríguez, stated that he would send to prison anyone who spoke of electoral fraud. After these and other statements describing any number of complaints about the referendum were published in the daily El Universal of September 26, 2004, President Chávez, in his weekly radio and television program "Aló Presidente," stated that the editor of El Universal, Andrés Mata "has no homeland . and is playing to the transnational interests that are eager to make themselves the owners of Venezuela."
