Thats a lot, especially as part of the Socialdemocrats (SPD) are somehow inclined towards a coalition. <BR/>Whats even worse, the LINKE gets 30% in the east (ex GDR, the ones who shot those who wanted to leave their country at the border).<BR/>The LINKE is a populist movement. I guess that a lot of them even does not really support Chávez, but there won't be a sincere internal debate. And there are reason, because Dieterich is quite popular among them and even he has broken with Chávez. <BR/>Hugo Chávez is just a nice poster-boy of some warm fuzzy feelings for the victims of US imperialism short after the apparently emotional US-movie about Che Guevara will be shown in autumn. Its unfair especially considering the high quality of venezuelean oppo blogs, but at least in Germany the people tend to perceive your continent like the place for huge emotions and not rational political analysis (which sucks). <BR/>The more intelectual left - which for my taste can be quite radical in certain points, too - does not trust Chávez. <BR/>And in Spain at least El País is anti-Chávez. <BR/>Germans tend to be worried, when Chávez started his war-mongering against Colombia or the planed maneuvers with Russia (http://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/venezuela106.html).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
