Wow what alot of generalisations and untruths to say it nicely. I live in Venezuela, read the news every day (in English and Spanish), am heavily involved in politics and activism here, and have never heard of this Lopez person who is apparently becoming very popular.
Inflation here is bad, but it is NOT 35%, and it is LOWER than all the previous governments, when it was around 46%.
The crime in Caracas is pretty high, it is also a serious problem, one that goes back decades. Unfortunately one can’t change the world in a day, or even a decade, and I think there are few people here who blame Chavez for the crime. Most of the opposition are simply big business and the upper classes. Perhaps you should get your sources from somewhere else apart from big business newspapers, in order to better understand what is going on here.
