One of my best friends is from Venezuela, portuguese but born and raised over there.
He hates him so to speak.
He says he did some good things but that it had to be like that, specially if they have oil and are supposed to have money in some sort of way.But he loves to go there, but when he goes he comes a bit sad with the situation.
With human rights and freedom.
Press freedom, speaking freedom and so on.
The poverty, violence and other bad things.
He's totally left wing, liberal, traces of anarchism so to say.
Against violence and for him Chavez was nothing but a dictator.He saw him with different eyes in the past, before a certain moment , his revolutionary vision and whatever, but that he came to power he became nothing else like the others.
Dictator but nothing to do with some figures in History, don't get me wrong here.
I have another friend, Venezuelan, and he defended some of the good measures from Chavez, but he would understand why this happened.
He says that despite your, Venezuelan people, views now is a time for reflexion more than anything.
Not looking into the differences.
