“Uh! Ah! Chavez no se va!” was everywhere last week when I visited Caracas. What I saw was a sea of red with a big white NO wherever you turned. A NO that signifies the vote against undoing Hugo Chavez’ populist revolution during a referendum election that will take place this Sunday, August 15.
Chavez, Venezuela’s democratically elected leader, is often criticized by many—inside and outside the country—for not being, acting and speaking as the president of a large and resource-rich country should, they say. I wanted to see for myself what the Venezuelan commotion—pro and con—was all about. |
