The banner that irked Chavez

March 5, 2007

Being so Bolivarian, Hugo Chavez was truly irked (He has mentioned it three times in public already) by this banner hung around many places in Caracas by Ciudadania Activa with a quote from Simon Bolivar in reference to Chavez’ intention of changing the Constitution to allow his indefinite reelection:

“Nothing is more dangerous than to allow the same citizen to stay in power a long time. The people get used to obeying  him and he gets used to telling them what to do which originates tyranny and  usurpation”
