Don't worry Minister. The elections will be credible and transparent, as they have been for the past decade, and Mr. Chavez will win.

Sep 17th, 2012 - 03:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course Chavez will win, he has paid for it after all with destroying the country's economy and FFS he has to buy petrol products from America because they can't do it themselves.
It's having all that military expertise running the refineries. You know, getting the operators to left, right, left, right in step to get the oil processed.
Still claiming to be a US Navyman are you?

Sep 17th, 2012 - 09:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Normally I would agree that it doesn't matter if Chavez wins or looses or cheats or not, but he is now part of MERCOSUR (at least he thinks he is). When there is blatant fraud, and there will be, what the hell is Brazil going to say then? How can they hold a straight face and say that it is okay what Chavez is doing, that it is democratic when there is guaranteed to be proof otherwise? How can they keep this idiot in Mercosur and yet suspend Paraguay for nothing? Damn if they really wanted Hugo to be accepted by the Paraguayan Senate, just pay them and good chunk of money and get it over with. Or get some pictures of them with some fine Venezuelan prostitutes and blackmail them.
Anyhow, the elections will be close (legally) but the results will be bs and thus there will be some massive rioting/protesting. $100 says that Hugo sends out the military or his militias to pacify the population. Things will get ugly.
The problem is when the government have their guidance in ideology.

Well said, perhaps when Dilma retires after her second term he might be President?
