Hugo Chavez Support Rally Today at Civic Center
While anti-Chavez protests happened around the country today, I happened to see that in San Francisco, there was a pro-Chavez rally happened at Civic Center. There were about 15 people or so carrying Venezuelan flags and a guy gave me a flyer explaining why people should support Hugo Chavez. (more below)
I didn't realize that Chavez had actually been ELECTED by such a huge margin so many times! From the coverage on the TV, he is always made out to be a "dictator" so I thought he assumed power in an illegal way. I checked these facts from the flyer when I got home and, sure enough, Hugo Chavez has been elected a number of times, with huge margins.
So, I guess I learned something from the pro-Chavez Rally at Civic Center today. There about 15-17 people waving Venezuelan signs, shouting "Viva Chavez!" and handing out flyers in support of Chavez. While I guess a right-wing group had organized anti-Chavez protests (most of them seemed small, less than 25-50 people each), in San Francisco there was actually a PRO-Chavez demonstration.
Attached is the flyer I got handed out -- it might be hard to read but maybe the people who put on the demonstration will publish something? I don't know. Anyway, VIVA CHAVEZ!!
