New Year’s Eve in August as people take to the streets

August 20, 2003

It seemed like New Yera’s Eve, roughly an hour ago, as the people of Caracas and some parts of Venezuela took to the streets to celebrate that the mid-point of Hugo Chavez’ Presidency was here and we can call for a recall referendum to terminate his mandate. It was festive, with drums, people dancing and lots of fireworks, organized and not organized as people got ready for tomorrow. As the fireworks peaked, people began singing the National Anthem, definitely making the celebration quite emotional.
