Hugo Chavez Dead

I was actually there for that. I wasn't there in 92' when Chavez did the exact same thing with operation Zamora, but it was essentially the exact same thing, so said the people down there that I spoke with. I care for the place, hence the reason I am looking forward to the next few months to see what direction things go in.

Chavez took responsibility for it, called off the assault to prevent a pointless bloodbath, served his time in prison and pledged his support for democracy.

IIRC Carmona dissolved the constitution, sacked the attourney general, launched a programme of violent repression, then realising his situation was as hopeless as Chavez's in 1992 he looted the contents of the safe and fled to Miami.

Not sure it was quite the same tbh
