Venezuela didn't get a change. Was their real opportunity as a country to develop a new project, but nothing happened. October 7th will a day to remember in their history.
Since 3+ months a possible change had started it's construction. A new opposition candidate (Henrique Capriles) was the person who should fought with the actual president Hugo Chávez. He did it !
But most of Venezuela's people didn't agree with him. why? That's an unknown answer that maybe in less than 6 years will be answered.
Last october 7th was the elections and the opportunity to say no more to a president that is doing what he wants with his country. Starting with the private factories and also with the money of the petrolium.
The proof of this is the military armament that he bought during the past 10 years, also the subsidies that he give to many people (including food and buildings).
Most of Venezuela's population was looking for a change to start again, with new relations with other countries and other policies different of "Century XXI socialism" that promote Chávez during the last years.
Most of the population decided to re-elect Hugo Chávez. But a lot of people (more than 6 million) supported Capriles.
Probably hugo chavez will apply what he said in his victory speech (work with the opposition). But Venezuela can't trust in his words because the President didn't do ever.
Nowdays the only chance is to wait for his actions. He will be the same?
Chávez told that day (october 7th) that this period will be the best of the last 3.
Many people hope that those words become truth.
The change maybe arrive in the future (Chávez told that he only want to be until 2019 in the presidence).
But maybe it will be late for Venezuela in 6 years.
