شافيز فرياس، هوغو رافائيل

“Chávez is the embodiment of Bolivar’s ideas (…)”.

"Hugo Chávez is a Venezuelan soldier. In his mind, Bolivar’s ideas germinated only naturally.  Suffice it to observe the way in which his thinking went through different political stages, starting from his humble origin, the school, the military academy, his readings of History, the reality of his country and the humiliating presence of the Yankee domination."
