Hugo the Great? 'Chavez is punishment for the rich and a hope for the poor'


Presidential Election in this country gets the world's attention because under the leadership of Chavez, Venezuela is one of the U.S. opponents.  Therefore, Chavez victory or defeat is assessed will affect the position of Venezuela to the United States. If Chavez wins, the nationalization of a number of projects and companies  and state control over the economy is expected to take place.

Not only that. Chavez is expected to intensify  the style of Simon Bolivar's ideology of socialism in South America. Without Chavez, countries such as Nicaragua and Bolivia will lose an ally. In contrast, Capriles victory will change dramatically Venezuela's axis. The resignation of Chavez will isolate a small number of countries that consider themselves as part of an alternative political stream. Cuba will miss you, Sir.

Domestically, Chavez is expected to gain sponsorship in the country. During the Chavez government, the number of poor people in Venezuela (which amounted to 50% in 1999) down to 32% at the end of 2011.
