Prensa Latina: Followers of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez are reinforcing the campaign towards the regional elections in November, amid warnings that the opposition has activated anti-democratic plans.
Addressing candidates of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) on Thursday, Chavez alerted the opposition "is trying to stir up turmoil, encourage his assassination, look for pro-coup military, and generate lack of supplies."
- Over 600 posts for governors, mayors, and regional deputies are at stake in the November 23 vote, and the president believes it is actually a tactical event with strategic impact for the country.
According to him, if the opposition, supported by the U.S., is able to win a significant number of governments and prefectures, 2009 will be a year of war, because they will try to oust him before the conclusion of his mandate in 2012. "The U.S. empire and unpatriotic oligarchy have several plans, so it is important to take the regional elections into account," said Chávez.
