Celebrating February 4th. 1992 Factoid #3: The Chavez Doctrine

February 4, 2007

Hugo Chavez justified his 1992 on the basis of eight or nine reasons called the “Chavez Doctrine”, not all of which I remember, but here are seven of them.

-There was too much poverty

After the oil windfall of the last few years, poverty is at the same level as when Hugo Cahvze became President.

-Carlos Andres Perez (CAP) was giving money and oil away to foreign countries.

Ditto Hugo Chavez.

-CAP traveled too much.

Nobody can beat Hugo

-The Government was corrupt.

Never have we seen the current levels of corruption under Chavez.

-CAP was the lackey of a foeign power (The US of A)

Substitute Cuba

-That the Government was yielding territory to a foreign power (Colombia)

Chavez has stopped claiming the Guyana and today’s paper says that Government wants him to drop that claim all together.

-There was no electoral way out

The election was two years away, CAP was impeached. There seems to be no way out today as Chavze asks for his indefinite reelection.

-The secret budget was being used to aid foreign politicians.

Oh well!

Apply the Chavez Doctrine today and what do you get?
