Many admired the absolute sincerity of Hugo Chavez ... but he now tells lies to defend nefarious actions in his government!

VHeadline Venezuela News reports: Approximately twenty-five percent of Venezuela's Foreign Ministry (MRE) were said in 2004 to be 'Ni-NI' (neither for or against the then administration of President Hugo Chavez Frias) ... they were generally confused, and did not have any significant understanding of what the process of the President's Bolivarian Revolution was/is all about.

In an article published, Friday, on the Aporrea website, Yurilin Peraza says that seeking to justify electoral losses instead of thinking, tackling the factors which brought about those losses is a serious error.

In translation Peraza writes: In the Constitutional Referendum last December (2007) -- which his government lost --President Hugo Chavez Frias worked hard to qualify it as a "pyrrhic victory" instead of deciphering the signals he was getting from the people, especially in the central regions of the country. A real-time correction (implemented then) would have avoided promoting the candidacy for re-election of (now outgoing) Miranda State Governor Diosdado Cabello, because of his poor governmental management. He could also have avoided the incompetence of Juan Barreto as Metropolitan Mayor, and that of Jose Vicente Rangel Avalos and his "sifrina" wife, who depended more on organizing fashion shows than truly meeting the needs of the electorate ... and, worse still, that of Freddy Bernal who for the last eight years as seen very few problems resolved and was really was the weakest of the bunch. It's all absurd!

(Newly-elected Libertador Mayor) Jorge Rodriguez did not win because Bernal has been a good Mayor, loved by the people. Jorge Rodriguez won because of his (high-profile) performance when he headed the National Electoral Council (CNE) and because the people in Libertador municipality are the most humble of people and are really loyal to Chavez. There are no upper-class neighborhoods (in Libertador) like there are in all the other municipalities in Greater Caracas; nevertheless the opposition's puppet candidate, Stalin, pulled a fairly substantial share of the votes.

Albeit there were 'punishment' vote and of 'dissenting' votes, especially from the middle classes engendered by their disappointment and uncertainties about the political party (PSUV) since the aforementioned municipal officials and governors had done little or nothing to address their most immediate necessities. Rather, they were ordered to please the rich, the millionaires to "keep them happy" and amen to corruption in these institutions ... a quick example is authority given for the construction of the Sambil shopping mall in La Candelaria!

Another interesting factor is to consider the fact that many people admired the absolute sincerity of Hugo Chavez ... but unfortunately he now tells lies to defend nefarious actions in his government which, far from favoring, hurt his credibility. What is absolutely clear, yes, is that Acosta Carles deserves public contempt for being a traitor to Chavez and his inefficiencies ... but he is worth more than the four characters mentioned above and, more so, since they continue to say they are revolutionaries ... but their performance as mayor and governors shows otherwise.

Another important aspect is for President Chavez to modify, correct his overly aggressive, offensive and rude way of speaking. President Chavez often uses (insults and provocations) against his opponents. That kind of behavior is not appreciated by the vast majority of people in the middle class and many others besides. You may recall the reaction of many people, including many "Ni-Nis," when Chavez very publicly ridiculed and humiliated Petroleos de Venzuela (PDVSA) employees he sacked in 2002?

• Yes, apologies were offered later but people do not deserve all these insults ... it is NOT the best way (for the President) to behave in public under any pretext. We understand that it was in states where there were more insults slung that the PSUV lost.

In conclusion, I hope that the PSUV will take into account that there is a latent danger in that the opposition has managed to capture Metropolitan Caracas Mayoralty, the Governorship of Miranda State and the municipality of Caracas-Sucre, besides holding on to the Mayoralties of Baruta, Chacao and El Hatillo and they are very assertive of this fact.

Let us also remember that the 1992 coup d'etats were won in the interior of Venezuela but were lost because the targets were not reached in Caracas.

Hopefully, Diosdado Cabello, Freddy Bernal, Juan Barreto and Jose Vicente Avalos, will have the courage to apologize to Chavez, because all (the opportunities) that have been wasted and the violence that is already unfolding in aggression against the residents of the localities where they governed is principally because of the inefficiencies and their responsibilities having neglected the oaths of office they made when they were elected.
