Letter to the Editor: Helping the poor working class
Helping the poor working class

It was very sad to see the death of President Hugo Chavez, who had improved the lives of the poor working class in Venezuela.
He and his party had used the country’s resources for the benefit of the population rather than the rich alone, as when the coountry was run by a rich oligarchy, backed by their friends in the US.
I was surprised to see the BBC coverage including the thousands who had turned out to show their respects but, of course, it had to give as much time to an interview with a rich Venezuelan who had decided to live in the US.
The BBC will no doubt say that it has to show a fair balance in such circumstances. The US will try its utmost to gets its friends back in power and let’s hope that the mainstream media onslaught will have no effect on the people of Venezuela and Nicolas Maduro is elected.
The only problem is that if this happens, the opposition and the US will not be satisfied.
A democratic election that goes against them is not acceptable and a coup would obviously not work as the people would throng and the army would have to back down.
