Today Rosales challenge is to convince enough people to walk 26 Km through Caracas, almost from end to end. I do not know if many will walk those 26 Km, but from what I can see on TV (Globo managed amazing aerial views where the Fco. de Miranda leaves Chacaito) a boat load of people will accompany him part of the way. And still, where Rosales is right now, is BEFORE the march from El Cafetal/Prados del Este, the opposition strognholds, joins. If you look at the map on the right, the red line is the one that comes out from the anti Chavez heartland.The pictures shown now on TV, as I type, are those coming from somewhere in between Plaza Venezuela and Av. Tamanaco. I was out wearlier this morning so I do not know what happened before Av. San Martin. I heard it was not as crowded but this is due that having Venezuelans marching at 9 AM on a Satruday si, well, a challenge for whomever calls fro the march.
Whatever it is, I do not see Chavez making such a hit from above his "carosa de carnaval". Rosales is on foot, for the whole distance. And going towards Petare. These symbols count.
Update: it all went well. The crowds were spectacular, all along the Miranda avenue from Petare to past Altamira. Way more than anything that could fit the Bolivar avenue :)
Even if Rosales was exhausted and did a perfunctory short speech, he did his speech, IN PETARE! Ladrándole en la cueva a Chávez!
That is, Rosales went from one alleged stronghold of Chavez to another one, on foot.
And caraqueños, sifrinos and from the people went along.
