    They can make the law as they want, only a elite has real power in this democracy, the rest of us must satisfy ourselves with voting from time to time. And i didn't talk about a full government like dictatorship, i clearly said that the principle of dictatorship will do very well to stay in the judicial system. That dictatorship you're talking about was more executive (gobierno de facto, goverment by fact, not by right because they overrule the Constitution) than judicial, there were no formal trials in all the period, the executive power just worked by decrets and force. Btw the dissappeared are today on the numbers of +60000.

    Oh now i see what benevolent dictatorship means in english, well i meant only dictatorship, totally impartial.
