The outrageous statements and accusations by Chavez and his buddies against the world may be considered ¨political¨in nature in nature, but they are getting weirder and weirder.
But how do you explain outright lies or hailing projects that simply do not exist?
Such was the case this week when Chavez signed the Sidor nationalization Bill into law and began talking about the area of Matanzas, where Sidor is, as the “City of Steel”. Chavez began talking about a new plant being built to make “specialty” steels and high tech pipes, that will turn the whole area into this apparently virtual City of Steel.
Because as reporters scrambled to find out about the project, it turns out that there is no such project in Matanzas, Ciudad Piar, Puerto Ordaz or Bolivar state. Not even in the planning stage.
Such is the virtual and ever increasing isolated world that Chavez lives in. He still believes he eradicated illiteracy, poverty and soon inflation. All in his own peculiar world, where he is always right and the Hitlerian ghosts of imperialism hover over him.
