Chilean press: Venezuela is copying Cuba

Chilean press: Venezuela is copying Cuba

Chilean newspaper El Mercurio compared President Hugo Chávez' Government
with Cuban ruler Fidel Castro's regime.

"Chávez' regime is increasingly similar to the Cuban regime. The
Venezuelan President's adhesion to the Marxist-Leninist principles is
translating step by step into the adoption of moves similar to those
Castro's dictatorship imposed," said the newspaper in an editorial
published last April 6th.

The newspaper claims that Castro started by ruling by decree,
implemented socialist reforms, and nationalized all kinds of companies,
thus exterminating private property. According to El Mercurio, Chávez is
taking the same path, but unlike Cuba he does not depend of foreign support.
