Change in Venezuela
Started in 1992
The revolutionary
project in Venezuela,
boosted by President
Hugo Chavez, began with
the civic-military
action on February 4,
1992.
The 16th anniversary of
that movement has been
celebrated with the
"Three Rs" strategy
being promoted by Chavez
himself to "review,
rectify and reboost" the
revolution in all
fronts.
According to analysts,
the developments that
led to the uprising
against the Carlos
Andres Perez government
were detonated by the
people"s opposition to a
regime characterized by
repression, corruption
and open impunity.
In addition, the
traditional political
parties manipulated
society, creating a
situation of frustration
in Venezuela.
That situation led a
group of young officials
and soldiers from the
Armed Forces to rebel
against a government
that had taken the
people to an
unsustainable situation.
The military actions in
major cities of the
country, especially the
capital, did not end as
planned, so then Lieut.
Col. Hugo Chavez decided
to surrender their
weapons to prevent
greater losses.
With that movement,
Chavez and his followers
ratified the importance
of change to build a
democratic model full of
justice, inclusion and
equality. |
