I hope that Chávez and the Venezuelan people can now have peace.

Hugo Chávez governed Venezuela from 1999 until 2013.

To no one s surprise, Chávez dominated the criticism of the pact.

Chávez is simply not the right person to help Cuba normalize its international relations.

Seen in this angle, Chavez appears to have real achievements.

Chávez knows that his personal security depends on the permanent protection of the Cuban intelligence services.

Certainly, Chávez seems to have seen it that way, as he consistently heckled Bush from afar.

Chávez won the first three, and, for several reasons, seems poised to win again.

In Venezuela, Chávez has strengthened his political position through a Constituent Assembly that changed the constitution.

As a Latina myself, I am disgusted and insulted by America Chavez.

Even Venezuela s Hugo Chávez the most vociferous of them understands the importance of maintaining macroeconomic stability.

For Chávez is showing that the old cry of Yankee go home still resonates.

In such schemes, Chávez has so far had more success than Morales, whose Constitutional Assembly has not yet been able to organize itself.

More fundamentally, Chávez represents ideas that have long stifled Latin America s political and economic growth.

Chávez also repeats,ad nauseam, the idea that others are to blame for Latin America s ills.

Along with his anti American discourse, Chávez also attempted to boost integration processes across Latin America.

To be sure, Chávez is absolutely crucial to FARC s survival, given its current, undoubtedly weakened condition.

In Venezuela, Hugo Chávez took a further radical turn and launched a widespread plan of land reform.

Chávez himself appears to have tacitly, if reluctantly, accepted that the recall vote will be held this August.

Chávez has strong support among the poor, who reacted with fury when he was overthrown two years ago.

It is not exactly clear how long Venezuela s Hugo Chávez was actually dead before his passing was officially announced.

Chávez himself always maintained that his idol, Simón Bolívar, was poisoned by his enemies in Colombia in 1830.
