Venezuela Socialists Get
Ready for Polls
CARACAS - The United Socialist Party of
Venezuela (PSUV) is tuning its machinery for
legislative polls in September through the
swearing in of campaign chiefs and the 300
candidates to deputies.
At least 36,600 patrols, each with 50
members, have been established. They have
the task to keep in touch with the people to
know what their problems are and attract a
minimum of 10 voters for the socialist
cause.
It is like a large army for a great battle
to bring a resounding victory following an
admirable campaign, said PSUV top leader and
President of the Republic Hugo Chavez during
a gathering at a food-making factory this
week.
Chavez called on all militants to take part
actively in the polls and prevent opposition
sectors from snatching needed majority from
them, as it has allowed their advance in the
adoption of popular measures.
The PSUV leadership is aware that yielding
to right-wing parties would amount to allow
the entry of a Trojan horse into the
National Assembly that would delay
discussions and try to reverse measures
taken in the last few years.
