Venezuela President Praises Social Deeds
CARACAS - "The
world verifies and publishes" the Venezuelan Revolution''s achievements in 10 years, "but
some here foster the vice of looking the
other way," President Hugo Chavez
highlighted on Sunday.
"These 10 years of revolution has been good
so that hope stopped being what it was in
the past: a premeditated deception that
creates false expectations," Chavez said.
The statesman recalled the high Human
Development Rate registered in the country
during the last few years.
According to a report by the UN Development
Program, it was 0.844 in 2007, on a scale
where number one is the optimal level."
Chavez said it was delightful to read the
document of the Food and Agriculture
Organization, confirming that Venezuela had
surpassed 2,700 daily calories for the
population, "something that means a
39-percent growth compared to 1998."
The government increased the agricultural
financing from 268 million strong bolivars
(124 million), allocated nine years ago, to
20 billion strong bolivars (around $9
billion) in 2009 "for a 1,300-percent
increase, strengthening the socialist model
in our countryside."
The statesman urgeed "those who still do not
believe in our project (�) and love going
around the world denouncing this
"dictatorship," to visit those international
authorities and institutions, the
seriousness of which is unquestionable.
