Venezuelan Protesters Condemn Chavez’s Expropriations
Feb. 7th, 2011
Hundreds of Venezuelans have held a demonstration demanding the government halt expropriations of private companies and condemning its stance toward union protests.
Some protesters held signs saying “Free Ruben Gonzalez!” — a union leader jailed on charges stemming from a 2009 strike at the state iron-mining company.
The doctrine of Hugo Chavez has long been authoritarian, extreme in fundamental nature and mired with the prospective of prospective casualties. His nationalization in the name of Bolivar has hindered corporate foreign investment and domestic policy and today we see greater evidence of its burden domestically.
