No, I agree that some of his moves are unfortunate and nefarious. In that thread, I said his 2007 referendum was essentially a ploy to establish himself as a de facto dictator. He wanted the power to declare an indefinite state of emergency without the possibility of judicial review...yeah, that is quite worrisome. Also, the decision not to renew RCTV's radio license in 2007 was unfortunate. Nonetheless, he accepted the defeat of the referendum relatively gracefully. That highlights, in my opinion, the enigmatic nature of Chavez. |
He accepted his defeat very peacefully although he called it "a victory of shit" on public TV, but you have to remember that he still had 5 years left from his 2nd term,he still had time to pursue unlimited reelections by other means, he did it and now he's able to run as many times he wants...
