11 YEARS WITHOUT FREEDOM
In Venezuela the majority has been fighting for a dream witch has been really hard to find, a Venezuela with values, with a Good education, security and freedom; all this has been affected for 11 years when Hugo Chavez was elected president.
When people hear about Chavez they know he is not a good person or they just don’t care, but what they really don’t know is that since he has been in power, 32 radio stations have been closed, television channels have disappeared, so we don’t have any real news channel that can tell us what is really happening out there. He is treating us like out casts of the world, with no real information.
Venezuela registers an average of 22 homicides for every 100 thousand residents, the highest rate at world-wide level. In Venezuela 50 children per hour are born and 2 people per hour are killed. In the year 2005, the homicide rate has increased three times the amount since before Chavez was elected.
There have been several elections to give Chavez new powers and to change the constitution, all of them he has won. People say he cheated, in my opinion he won fare and square, it’s the opposition who are just so tired of fighting and not getting anywhere that they didn’t go out and vote. That’s why we have to go out even though its exhausting and you don’t think we are doing something, we are.
If the people vote to give Chavez new powers then why are so many concerned about it becoming a dictatorship? This is something people ask themselves every day and It is because we know from historical precedent that it is very often how dictatorships start. Salazar asked for special powers in Portugal in the early 1930s. Flash forward almost 40 years and he was still in power.
Chavez has said that U.S. President George Bush is Satan, a comparison, which I happen to think flatters just the two of them. But at least Bush has had congress to impede his more sinister efforts.
That’s why we students need to fight for our country, go out on the streets, even if they throw rocks or gas bombs at us we should keep on fighting, there has been many deaths during this fight but we cannot surrender because at the end it will all be worth to have our Venezuela back, to give the future students the Venezuela we have always dreamt of.
