Parties Elections-Elected Governments South/Latin America

Caracas, Sep 19 (Prensa Latina) The governing Bloque de Cambio (Bloc
of Change) formalized the socialist nature of the National Assembly
as polls closed for Venezuelan parliamentary elections on Monday.

President Hugo Chavez referred to the strategic importance of the
legislature to start strengthening the process "toward socialism" by
2006.

Chavez fully trusts in the overwhelming support of most Venezuelans
supporting the social policy effective since 1999 to improve the
distribution of oil resources, and his supporters hope to win over
two-thirds of the 167 councils to approve key laws and reforms.

National Assembly President Nicolas Maduro said they should take
actions to strengthen people’s participation in government through
the increase of their political rights.

Maduro, of the Movimiento V Republica (Fifth Republic Movement, MVR),
asserted that a majority in Parliament would allow speeding up the
revolutionary process in health, education, culture and political
democracy.

According to Deputy Dario Vivas, the next legislative period will
ensure develop of a social economy.

Another deputy, Ismael Garcia, who belongs to the Partido por la

Democracia Social (Social Democratic Party), believes the National
Assembly should promote the participatory model to democratize bodies
and move toward the sought-after socialism of the 21st century.

Seeking to gain parliamentary control, the MVR and allied parties
nominated only one candidate as a means to channel the people’s
support they have obtained since the 1998 elections.

The opposition, given prospects of a crushing defeat, has made
agreements for two proposals to capture voters. However, it is likely
to win only between 30 and 40 of the 167 councils.

Addressing people who received him following his return from the UN
Summit, Chavez called for a huge turnout in December to buttress the
Bolivarian Revolution in 2006.

At that time the project towards socialism will be underway with
opposition proposals unable to stop it.

  • Be careful each country which gives social service to his citizens, will be accused of inefficiency and might be even brought up to the U.N. security council with phony accusations and if that’s not helping the American/British Nazi scumbags will try to "modernize" them by bombing the sh*t out of them.

    For an America, British and Israel free U.N.! And an overall boycott to the same.
