Carlos Andrés Pérez and his US American friend.

With children.

They're doing a reenactment of those horrible events of the Caracazo using CHILDREN, during an event that was CELEBRATED for the 500 years of the founding of Cumaná.

Try to keep up with the language, m'kay?

You would never be able to convince any human being of that. It doesn't make sense at any level.

If you don't give a straight answer,
I'm gonna go with that you don't condemn it.

Carlos Andrés Pérez Rodríguez (27 October 1922 – 25 December 2010), also known as CAP and often referred to as El Gocho (due to his Andean origins), was a Venezuelan politician, President of Venezuela from 1974 to 1979 and again from 1989 to 1993. His first presidency was known as the Saudi Venezuela due to its economic and social prosperity thanks to enormous income from petroleum exportation. However, his second period saw a continuation of the economic crisis of the 1980s, and saw a series of social crises, a popular revolt (denominated Caracazo) and two coup attempts in 1992. In May 1993 he became the first Venezuelan president to be forced out of the office by the Supreme Court, for the embezzlement of 250 million bolívars belonging to a presidential discretionary fund.

In the international arena, Pérez supported democratic and progressive causes in Latin America and the world. He reestablished diplomatic relations with Cuba and submitted a resolution to the Organization of American States (OAS) that would have lifted economic sanctions against the country. He opposed the Somoza and Augusto Pinochet dictatorships and played a crucial role in the finalizing of the agreement for the transfer of the Panama Canal from American to Panamanian control. In 1975, with Mexican President Luis Echeverría, he founded SELA, the Latin American Economic System, created to foster economic cooperation and scientific exchange between the nations of Latin America. SELA was intended to offset the influence of the OAS, which was widely viewed to be subject to US domination.[2] He also supported the democratization process in Spain, as he brought Felipe González, who was living in exile, back to Spain in a private flight and thus strengthened the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE). Additionally, he negotiated a treaty with the USSR that called for the USSR to supply oil to Venezuela's Spanish market in exchange for Venezuela supplying the Soviet market in Cuba.[2]
--------------------------

Towards the end of his first term in office, Pérez's reputation was tarnished by accusations of excessive, and disorderly, government spending. His administration was often referred to as Saudi Venezuela for its grandiose and extravagant ambitions. In addition, there were allegations of corruption and trafficking of influence, often involving members of Pérez's intimate circle, such as his mistress Cecilia Matos, or financiers and businessmen who donated to his election campaign, known as the "Twelve Apostles". A well-publicized rift with his former mentor Betancourt and disgruntled members of AD all pointed to the fading of Perez's political standing. By the 1978 elections, there was a sense among many citizens that the influx of petrodollars after 1973 had not been properly managed. The country was importing 80% of all foodstuffs consumed. Agricultural production was stagnant. The national debt had skyrocketed. And whilst per capita income had increased and prosperity was evident in Caracas and other major cities, the country was also more expensive and a significant minority of Venezuelans were still mired in poverty. This malaise led to the defeat of AD at the polls by the opposition Social Christian Party. The newly elected president, Luis Herrera Campíns, famously stated in his inaugural speech that he was "inheriting a mortgaged country."

This is simply a clear YES or NO answer. DO YOU or DO YOU NOT condemn the use of children for PROPAGANDA, whatever band the government comes from, be it right or left?

These are the 5 biggest polling agencies in Venezuela, and the results they predict for the 6D elections. In case it's not clear to you, OFI represents the current regime, and the OPO represents the opposition:

Even Hinterlaces, which is run by a Chavista sympathizer, Oscar Schemel, predicts that chavismo has little more than 30% of support.

Pro Chavista members don't like to answer uncomfortable questions.

Even Chavez himself would try to digress when he was asked something he knew he couldn't defend. Typical tactics used by those put into a corner. And then they say we are the immoral ones. Pathetic hypocrites.
