Jeez, I can’t believe I may be about to defend Hugo Chavez. You see, Peruvian newspaper El Expreso accused Chavez today of taking advantage of the Peruvian earthquake tragedy to distribute cans of tuna like the shown below, with a picture of Peruvian opposition leader Ollanta Humala and one of Hugo Chavez, with the text:
“In the face of looting, blockades, desperation and chaos. Solidarity with our countrymen”
“In the face of the natural disaster that shook Peru and particularly our region Ica, the Nationalist Peruvian Party with our leader Ollanta is present among you, together with our sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, whose President is our brother Hugo Chavez, because the Peruvian Government acts in an inefficient, slow and heartless manner, without caring for the pain of the victims and leaving them at the will of hunger, thirst and hoodlums”
To me the language sounds very local, maybe it was financed by Hugo and that is why he is mentioned, but this sounds too specific and provincial to make me believe this came and originated from Venezuela.
