Venezuela Opposition won’t win

FROM eating dog chow to the bread itself, the lower class masses in Venezuela would not vote for the Opposition parties in the next election to find a replacement for President Hugo Chavez who died last week Tuesday following a two-year battle with Cancer.
So says Anthropologist John Sorrillo, who said that prior to the late President Chavez taking leadership in Venezuela, 14 years ago, that oil rich country’s poor people ate dog chow as they “could not even get the crumbs of the bread to eat.”
Sorrillo, a Venezuelan-born who has called Trinidad his home for the past 30 years, hailed Chavez as a great leader whose ideologies came from liberator Simon Bolivar. Describing himself as a ‘Chavista’ (a die-hard supporter of Chavez), the anthropologist praised the leader for transforming the country and creating programmes to benefit the people.
Saying the people lost a hero, Chavez’ love for the masses was reflected at his funeral last Friday with thousands of people attending.
