Thanks for visiting and commenting. Ye...Hi, Marja.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and commenting. Yes, that was an oversimplification. Still, the area has been traditionally working class, I am sure the man would not have said "de Baruta, Miranda" if he had been from Baruta. Guatire has expanded enormously because of the people, specially young, well-educated, moving out of the congested Caracas valley. As we know, not even Petare seems to be what it was before :-)<br /><br />Now, what is rich and what is poor is always relative for many reasons, specially in Venezuela: it depends on average, it depends on net worth, on stability of job sources and much more.<br /><br />I recently took a look for some seconds (more than enough) to Jesse Chacon's Twitter account. He kept insulting those "burgueses, oligarcas". As you probably know, his brother is now in jail (is he?) after becoming a billionaire in a couple of years and showing it off just too much. Jesse claimed not to have known anything about it. I am sure Jesse says he is working class even if he is now much richer than many of those "ricos oligarcas".<br /><br />If you ever have a gossip, a comment, a story or a picture that may be of special interest for foreign readers, please, write me at<br />desarrollo.sostenible.venezuela AT gmail.com<br />I am specially interested in views from "outside the capital".Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-17632465980885275152010-06-22T17:01:32.638-07:002010-06-22T17:01:32.638-07:00Good posting, but heyyyy I live in Guatire and I d...Good posting, but heyyyy I live in Guatire and I don't think we can call it a "poor community" anymore. It's basically a Caracas bedroom community, and the housing market has EXPLODED here in the past few years.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662953005357432981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-7699852236098405842010-06-20T11:14:48.937-07:002010-06-20T11:14:48.937-07:00Exactly.

I suppose he won't be saying that in Copenhaguen's follow up.<br />If we could interview him - which we can't - I would like to ask him where on Earth he wants the extra 21 million Venezuelans to be living and where the food is coming from.<br /><br />Now, this attitude is still part of way many millions of Venezuelans think.Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-64921372851465178162010-06-20T10:19:18.259-07:002010-06-20T10:19:18.259-07:00Another ass-backwards statement.
