| 2010-12-21 |
| [El Universal] A farm called BolÃvar now belongs to the Bolivarian government. "A Bolivarian BolÃvar farm. I want to give it that name," Hugo Chavez said in his weekly program Aló, Presidente (Hello, President). This is just one of the 47 farms seized by the government in South Lake Maracaibo, western Zulia state. "Liberation of those workers has arrived. Therefore, the fight against a perversion such as large estate should escalate ... We need to liberate up to the last inch of the Venezuelan territory," Chavez said. However, The infamous However... the Venezuelan president acknowledged that the government would respect 16 out of the 47 seized ranches. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... farmers in South Lake Maracaibo and Andean Mérida state, who have been affected by takeovers, promised to defend their properties in court. |
