Why would you say such a thing? Oh, I know it's because propaganda has it that he's a bad guy so you figure that must be true. The people in VZ who are now getting an education, medical care and better housing would tend to disagree with you. They didn't have those things in their lifetime before.
There are a lot of people in our country who would disagree with you also. He provided desperately needed heating oil for many of our poor when our own companies couldn't be bothered. Better they should freeze to death I guess.
Chavez has been encouraging the other South American countries to develop their own currency. THAT is what makes him a bad guy just like it did with Saddam and Gaddafi. You really should read more.
Of course there are a number of people among the wealthy in VZ who don't like him because he's made it more difficult for them to bleed the general population dry.
