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. |
