Rory Carroll Quotes

• Chávez inherited a dysfunctional judicial system and more or less regional (that is to say: bad) crime rates. He leaves an anarchic judicial system and horrendous crime rates. He neglected, bungled, and politicized policing, the courts and the jails.

• Él [Hugo Chávez] puso la pobreza en el centro del debate político. Con razón, dada la inmensa desigualdad y pobreza del país. Hizo grandes inversiones en programas sociales como alfabetización, clínicas de salud y educación. Promovió la cultura indígena de Venezuela e instó a sus compatriotas a enorgullecerse de su historia precolombina. Pidió a Estados Unidos que dejara de tratar a Latinoamérica como su patio trasero.

• Confronting the US made him [Hugo Chavez] a target for demonization. Partisan and/or lazy journalism exaggerated his faults, ignored his virtues, and downplayed the influence of strident and on occasion anti-democratic opponents. The flip side is his anti-imperialist posturing so dazzled his cheerleaders they overlooked his flaws, flaws which worsened over time, and they created their own caricature.
