When you see and listen Chávez in talkings you never know if he´s an inflated ego just about to pop or a friendly interlocutor who gives place, validation and strength to his interlocutors or both or maybe something different. But the experience is always edgy for sure…! . The tool-kit used goes from saludos, encourage football-like chantings and consignas, songs (from national anthems to popular musicians), rants, writers, philosophers and politics quotations, autobiographical experiencias, wearing of traditional costumes, historic revisionism, praises, critics, news´s readings, jokes… and sure more!...and all that for more than an hour..! wowww!...
In theory I agreed with the kernel of what I understood most of his speeches were about -maybe not in so rotundos terms-: he encouraged the union and the work-together among the different southamerican countries, the participation of the people in social organizations, the awareness of what´s going on in the world and the possibility of counter-revolutionary attempts in the following year (he talked in first person at this point). He also spoke about his position about Libia (many times), Obama & the imperio and also read part of Fidel´s latest column and did commentaries of his advice of “to sleep with one eye open…” (how´s that?
).
Meanwhile, here it´s election year again and the right-right already prophetized a sort of Hitler times mixed with red seventies´s renewed shadows and inflationary chaos near… I wonder which could be the name of that if it were a drink…
well, well, well …
