Chavez administrationīs support Register a Rise in Venezuelan youth

Caracas, February 17 (PL) The support to the administration of Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, with a view to the October 7 forthcoming elections, registers its largest increase among the youth, affirmed Aristobulo Isturiz, first vice president of the National Assembly.

Referring to the nearly three million votes made by the opposition Democratic Unity Table (MUD) in its internal elections of February 12, the deputy assured that it does not represent a challenge for the leader, who joins young Venezuelan daily in his favor, he emphasized.

Istúriz argued that through inclusive policies implemented by the Government in the diet of the population, the chance for obtaining the means and study materials, and the expansion of schools, the South American country ranks fifth worldwide in University registration.

To continue changing higher education in Venezuela is one of the major challenges of the administration,which measure was positively viewed by the youth, said the parliamentarian to the morning program Toda Venezuela (the whole Venezuela).

The have given us a Blue Print for CHANGE.

[font size=3]"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."[/font]
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales

FDR said much the same thing in his Economic Bill of Rights.


VIVA Democracy!
I hope we get some here soon.

That wouldn't have happened without a huge shift in goals, from the benefits going to the oligarchs, to the whole country, which came to life as Hugo Chavez started implementing the changes he promised to acquire for the people in his first campaign.

Delivering higher education for others beyond the small elite population is absolutely nothing to sneeze at!

Thanks, dipsydoodle.

They probably realize that the robber barons want to get back in power so they can steal all the land again, tear down all the social programs and force children and young men to work like slaves to fund lavish lifestyles for the wealthy... and they must also know that this selfish, arrogant few need to be always kept in check lest they destroy their nation and their futures.
