And that's what explains why Chavez won the last elections despite all the propaganda against him, and if he wins the Constitution Change ballot he will win again: his economy plans (well, Ali Rodriguez's plans) are probably the best ever seen in Venezuela and most of Latin America
But don't believe me, I've no idea what I'm talking about  |
Chavez is like Putin to the Russians - the oil price went up and they think it was their great leader that did the magic
"In spite of a presidential term limit of 6 years, Chávez has suggested that he would like to remain in power for 25 years,[32] a claim he denies as a misinterpretation of his intent.[33] However he recently proposed a constitutionally binding referendum to allow for a third term"
sounds more and more like Bob Mugabe - he started as a great guy, then he really liked being on top and turned his country into a shithole
