Attacking Venezuela’s Democratic Process

Attacking Venezuela’s Democratic Process
By Stephen Lendman on April 11, 2013 6:31 pm /

Jimmy Carter calls Venezuelan elections the world’s best. He does so for good reason. They shame America’s sham process. Duopoly power controls things. People have no say.

Venezuelans get the real thing. It’s constitutionally mandated. It’s democracy the way it should be. It’s one of many Bolivarian successes. They reflect Chavez’s extraordinary legacy. Don’t expect media scoundrels to explain.

He’s gone. Chavismo lives. On April 14, Venezuelans again vote. Acting President Nicolas Maduro carries Chavez’s torch.

He’s PSUV’s (United Socialist Party of Venezuela) candidate. He’ll face opposition Rountable of Democratic Unity (MUD) leader Henrique Capriles Radonski.
