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?
