VLMIL Candidate #4: Hugo Chavez » VivirLatino

“Born July 28, 1954, Chavez is the 53rd and current President of Venezuela. As the leader of the “Bolivarian Revolution,” Chávez promotes his vision of democratic socialism, Latin American integration, and what he terms anti-imperialism. He is also a radical critic of neoliberal globalization and United States foreign policy. Chávez’s far-reaching reforms have evoked exceptional controversy in Venezuela and abroad, receiving both criticism and praise. Venezuelans are split between those who say he has empowered the poor, and those who say he is autocratic and has mismanaged the economy. Some foreign governments view Chávez as a threat to global oil prices and regional stability, while others welcome his bilateral trade and reciprocal aid agreements.”
