I live 50 miles from the nation of Venezuela. I have not personally been to the country but would love to see Los Roques someday. The countryside looks amazing. Someday…
Overall it is my observation, Venezuelans in Bonaire do not love Chavez. Many came to the ABC islands for a better life. Many of my contacts vote against Chavez. Personally I cannot comment too much but I have seen him on TV. This man can talk for hours. Everyone wears red in his presence. He is clearly an egomaniac. What about Chavez Time. The man could not even get it straight when he announced the new time zone created for his country. He had his IT people scrambling trying to switch over the country…
Yes in the US Joe Kennedy has a relationship with Chavez and bought oil cheap to sell to the poor. I realize Chavez’s presence extends into many US sectors…but..
What about Antigua? The Stanford fiasco has devastated many on island. It is in a vulnerable position and having a bale out by Chavez, well is it the best choice? Why isn’t the US assisting or are we? Yes, we have poverty and our economic situation is in dire straits but letting Chavez bale out Antigua? Hmmm..food for thought. Take a read…educate me please..inform me..I plead ignorance.
