Area Venezuelans Gather In Protest Of Hugo Chavez - Tampa Bay, Florida

On the sixth anniversary of a Venezuelan coup that briefly removed President Hugo Chavez from power, Chavez opponents across the Bay area protested the controversial leader Friday.

Mobilized by a Facebook alert, Lucia Pineda and her mother, Maria, came from Clearwater. They held aloft a sign portraying Chavez with devilish horns.

“I don’t agree with Chavez. I think he’s having a negative influence on a lot of countries,” said Maria Pineda, 47, who left Venezuela with her children seven months ago. She said she once worked for the National Assembly of Venezuela but was forced out by threats from the Chavez regime.”*
