As Venezuela holds its first election following the death of Hugo Chavez, activists accuse the former president's family of amassing huge personal wealth at the nation's expense.

-----------
Here the late-president's family owns 17 country estates, totalling more than 100,000 acres, in addition to liquid assets of $550 million (£360 million) stored in various international bank accounts, according to Venezuelan news website Noticias Centro.

------------

"It's pure corruption, and Hugo Chavez allowed it all happen.


"They take the money that's intended to help the people, and they put it in their own pockets. They're buying country estates and apartments in the United States while we have nothing".

1. So Azuaje drives up to a house, claims it belongs to Chavez without proof?

Your article provides no evidence, just the words of an opposition politician.

FAIL.

2. Oh, that's Bacchus the guy who explained his screenname was for all the wine he drinks

You can safely disregard anything he posts. He's been outed over and over again as carrying water for the international rightwing.

This offering of his is a classic and all anyone needs to know.

[Tempest]

3. I'm aware of him

I just like poking my finger in his eye every time he fails.

Like by posting obviously biased and unsubstantiated accusations as he did here.

5. Sooner or later, I think DU will introduce a mechanism to rid this place

of people who think that if they just hide out in subforums without ever going up for air, they won't be so noticeable carrying rightwing water onto DU.

4. I think I'll just put the OP link into every single Chavez related post

just to remind everyone corrupt and hypocritical the administration was. Its sad the willful ignorance here of those who continue to idolize a liar and thief.

6. Oh, please, do it.

You'll make us all a favor by linking such a "fact-based", "solid" story to your signature.

8. Oh please do. I will be happy to comment on it! I never see you in GD btw, so it would be a nice

change. Of course I could have missed you.

Will be looking forward to seeing the 'Daily Telegraph' propaganda in GD.

9. yep, you've missed me. You miss alot n/t

[sabrina 1]

11. Lol, well to be frank, if I missed you I don't think I am missing 'a lot'!

[Bacchus4.0]

13. well, you missed me enough to come here and respond

I never look for you. Links are like kryptonite to you. Same with posting anything substantiated.

[sabrina 1]

14. Aw, this is going to be hard for me. I hate deflating other people's opinions of themselves

but I came here to read some actual news from such respected DUers as Catherina and merely stumbled upon your, mostly entertaining comments.

But for serious comments I would never seek you out, sorry if that is a disappointment to you !

[Bacchus4.0]

15. no, not at all. If you didn't respond in the first place I would have been quite

content to continue to avoid your fictional posts. Its been quite easy.

If you want to respond again, thats fine, but maybe you can link to some actual news posted by Catherina or yourself as I have yet to see any.

[Bacchus4.0]

10. nope, never said that about my nic, you are just making things up like usual

you are very consistent though. Wine is OK. Tinto always.


Do you think the article underestimated Chavez's wealth?

12. The Daily Telegraph

The Daily Telegraph has been politically conservative in modern times.[15] The personal links between the paper's editors and the leadership of the Conservative Party, along with the paper's influence over Conservative activists, have resulted in the paper commonly being referred to, especially in Private Eye, as the Torygraph.[15] Even when Conservative support was shown to have slumped in the opinion polls and Labour became ascendant in them (particularly when leader Tony Blair rebranded the party as "New Labour" on becoming leader after the death of John Smith in 1994), the newspaper remained loyal to the Conservatives. This loyalty continued after Labour ousted the Conservatives from power by a landslide election result in 1997, and in the face of Labour election wins in 2001 and the third successive Labour election win in 2005.
