There's been news that Chavez' net worth was between $1-2 billion, which many are using to say he was not the champion of the poor. I don't think this in and of itself proves that. Has anyone come across what this money was used for? Was it used as a controlling interest in the oil industry (which was used for the people)? Was his estate used to help others? Where will that money go now that he has passed?
You can write on these pages, send messages and request documents on the progress of this country. There are many links to other pages where you can find this information and more. Videos, documentaries, many more. There are many informative pages against foolish comments. A Champion of the poor? more than that. Because all the sectors of society are benefits from the advances of the revolution. Persons from a social sector of opposite "ideology", that denies this when obviously they do, directly and indirectly. The progress of this country, not limited only to those most in need. So always talk about inclusion.
You can easily put on the internet: Advances of the Bolivarian revolution especially in the agricultural sector, revolutionaries projects, Bolivarian Missions Investments, Investments in social resources for Venezuelans. Investment with Russia, China, Libia, Siria and many other countries.
