Let's say that Caldera doesn't pardon him but orders Chavez and his co-conspirators tried for sedition and/or treason. Perez still gets impeached and removed from office, and Caldera returns to Miraflores for his second term as per OTL. What happens in 1999? Does Salas Romer win instead? Does the COPEI/AD 2-party system still collapse without Chavez?
