Hugo Chávez
Date de naissance: 28. juillet 1954
Date de décès: 5. mars 2013
Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías, né le 28 juillet 1954 à Sabaneta, dans les Llanos, au sud du Venezuela et mort le 5 mars 2013 à Caracas, est un militaire et homme d'État vénézuélien, président de la République de 1999 à 2013.
Élu président de la République du Venezuela le 6 décembre 1999, il est le chef du parti politique du Mouvement Cinquième République de sa fondation en 1997 jusqu'en 2007, date à laquelle il fonde le Parti socialiste unifié du Venezuela . Se réclamant du bolivarisme et ayant pour objectif l'établissement du « socialisme du XXIe siècle », il met en place un ensemble de réformes, désigné sous le nom de « Révolution bolivarienne », et comprenant la promulgation d'une nouvelle constitution, une politique de « démocratie participative », et la nationalisation des industries clés. Les ressources naturelles du Venezuela lui permettent de financer un ensemble de politiques sociales, et suscite l’enthousiasme d'une partie de la gauche et des nationalistes-révolutionnaires à l'échelle internationale. Sa politique fait l'objet de controverses : il lui est notamment reproché de ne pas poser les bases d'un développement durable au Venezuela, de gouverner de façon autoritaire et d'entretenir des liens avec plusieurs dictatures.
Atteint d'un cancer au début des années 2010, il est réélu pour un quatrième mandat en 2012, mais ne peut prêter serment et meurt des suites de sa maladie.

„If I am assassinated, there is only one person responsible: the president of the United States. If, by the hand of the devil, these perverse plans succeed...forget about Venezuelan oil, Mr Bush. I will not hide, I will walk in the streets with all of you...but I know I am condemned to death.“

„We have to re-invent socialism. It can’t be the kind of socialism that we saw in the Soviet Union, but it will emerge as we develop new systems that are built on cooperation, not competition.“

„You messed up with me, birdie. No? You don't know much about history. You don't know much about anything, you know? A great ignorance is what you've got. You are ignorant, Mr. Danger. You are an ignorant. You are a donkey, Mr. Danger … By that I mean, you know, to say it with all its letters, to Mr. George W. Bush. You are a donkey, Mr. Bush. I'm going to tell you something, Mr. Danger. You are a coward, you know? You are a coward. Why don't you go to Iraq and command your army? It's so easy to command an army from afar. If you ever come up with the crazy idea of invading Venezuela, I'll be waiting for you in this savanna, Mr. Danger. Come on here, Mr. Danger. Come on here. Come on here, Mr. Danger. Coward, assassin, genocidal… Genocidal, you are a genocidal. You are an alcoholic, a drunk.. A drunk, Mr. Danger. You are immoral, Mr. Danger… You are the worst ever, Mr. Danger … The worst of this planet, the very worst is called George W. Bush. God save the world from this menace. Because he is an assassin. A sick man, a psychologically ill man, I know it. Personally, he is a coward. But he has a lot of power. He has a lot of power. And look at what's happening in Iraq. Yesterday the world marched against the war… 70%, according to the surveys I've seen, of your own people, Mr. Danger, are against you, against the war. You are a liar, Mr. Danger. You are killing children, Mr. Danger, who aren't responsible for your illnesses, of your complexes. Your soldiers in Iraq are bombing cities. Just yesterday we were watching images of five children who were murdered by you soldiers. They're not the murderers. You are the murderer, coward!“

„The descendants of those who crucified Christ… have taken ownership of the riches of the world, a minority has taken ownership of the gold of the world, the silver, the minerals, water, the good lands, petrol, well, the riches, and they have concentrated the riches in a small number of hands.“

„Everyday I become more convinced, there is no doubt in my mind, as many intellectuals have said, that it is necessary to transcend capitalism. But capitalism can not be transcended through capitalism itself; it must be done through socialism, true socialism, with equality and justice. I’m also convinced that it is possible to do it under democracy, but not in the type of democracy being imposed by Washington.“
