  International - Is the government of Hugo Chavez Frias Democratic?
However, President Chavez demonstrated his true colours when prior to the decision he publicly pressured the Supreme Court and its members in an effort to coerce them into reaching a decision that would convict the officers who were on trial, and threatened them with public violence if they did not reach such a decision.
Since 11th April, 2002, Hugo Chavez has unleashed a well-orchestrated, lavishly-financed Goebbelian propaganda blitz that unfairly and inaccurately portrays the opposition as a gang of undemocratic, fascist, corrupt, elitist, racist, violent, terrorists, saboteurs, assassins and coupsters, who wish to bring down his government by undemocratic, violent means.
President Chavez countered by asking a number of countries to get involved in the mediation process under the leadership of Brazil; he was hoping that Brazil’s newly-elected President Lula Da Silva would ensure that these countries would be sympathetic to Chavez’ cause and undermine the role of OAS Secretary General Cesar Gaviria.

And its orientation is, very clearly, humanist: "El dios para mi--es el pueblo" ("God, for me, is the people").

 TIME Europe | Others Who Shaped 1999: Hugo Chávez Frías | 12/27/99
Since he was elected by a landslide on Dec. 6, 1998, the burly, charismatic ex-paratrooper and former coup leader has swept aside Venezuela's political parties, stripped Congress of most of its powers and suspended more than 190 judges on corruption charges.
So far as most ordinary Venezuelans are concerned, however, the constitutional niceties of Chávez's behavior are less important than the fact that he swept the hated plutocracy from power.
Says Energy Minister Ali Rodríguez, "Hugo Chávez has been the most effective bulwark against the country's social explosion." The President has shown a keen awareness of the symbolism of change: he stripped top politicians and former government officials of their perks and put the state's fleet of 134 private jets up for sale.
