Why did Chavez tolerate the disobedience ...Daniel,<br /><br />Why did Chavez tolerate the disobedience of the PPT?<br /><br />It is hard to really understand the relationship of the PPT vs. Chavez.On one hand the PPT got away with resisting Chavez's demands that they incorporate themselves into the PSUV.Chavez even got to the point of calling them traitors.<br /><br />You even define them as dissident Chavismo,whereas Chavez is not known to brook any dissidence within his ranks.<br /><br />On the other hand, the PPT has no policy differences with Chavez, never criticizes him in any way, is totally obedient to him and an active part of the Chavez coalition.<br /><br />About Henri Falcon, leaving the PSUV, the fact that he is now being criticized by the Chavistas,doesn't mean much because we have to remember that Arias Cardenas was also strongly criticized but then was accepted back into the fold.firepigettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348890269608169297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-81669142024171145592010-02-25T17:00:28.982+01:002010-02-25T17:00:28.982+01:00Looks like the "Falcon effect" is starti...Looks like the "Falcon effect" is starting to take place.<br /><br />http://www.elimpulso.com/pages/vernoticia.aspx?id=98400<br /><br />Great analysis, once again.geha714https://www.blogger.com/profile/12680077918707375990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-18731122470999627952010-02-24T04:47:25.773+01:002010-02-24T04:47:25.773+01:00Chavez a truly coward.

"falconistas", with or without the PPT, could get 2 seats in yaracuy, maybe 5 in lara and 3 more within portuguesa, cojedes, trujillo and guarico. 10 seats might be enough because they would all be taken from seats that would go to chavez in normal election! and without needing any "un-seeming" alliance with the opposition! that is, the opposition and falcon can play their cards right, not get in bed together, recover the national assembly for democracy and wait for 2012 to settle final scores.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-26790232494504514522010-02-22T23:35:25.455+01:002010-02-22T23:35:25.455+01:00daniel
