Hugo Chávez

One can't help but be impressed by the outpouring of love for Hugo Chávez by his people. He did so much for the poor and particularly poor women that it is no wonder Venezuelans love him. You have to have guts to stand up to the multinationals and the powerful Governments who support them. Compare this demonstration of caring with the general feeling about politicians here in Australia. It is like night and day.

It is interesting watching the commentary from the US, the UK and their hangers-on. If they had any decency they would be embarrassed by their anti-Chávez stance.

The video clip from Venezuela showing the wonderfully gifted conductor Gustavo Dudamel conducting the national anthem is inaccessible in Australia (and the UK). Watch here
