Propaganda

On February 15th Venezuela held elections to vote on a referendum of the constitution. This referendum would abolish term limits, making it possible for president Chavez to run for re-election indefinitely. There was a lot of hype before the election, and the town was painted in propaganda in support of Chavez.

Many people have asked if there is any propaganda against Chavez...

All property in Venezuela is owned by the government, and any person advertising against the government is looking for trouble...so, you only see a few cars with the words NO or some walls are spray painted with graffiti saying no.

The people voted on this topic 2 years ago and turned it down. After the elections Chavez plastered the country with "Por Ahora" signs which means "For Now". He put these signs up saying, you have voted this down "For Now", but this is not over...

This time the people voted in favor of Chavez, so now the "Por Ahora" signs are disappearing and being replaced with "Chavez por Siempre" signs which means, "Chavez forever"...SCARY!!!
