Day 2


"We're not perfect, but we do have democracy."
Hugo Chavez


History, for the counterpart of human beings, is what happens while you are cooking, taking a shower or hanging the laundry.In my case, history is what happened while I was boiling some water for the tea, when a voice from the radio informed me Hugo Chavez had passed out. Aged 58, he is believed to win next elections, even though from the afterworld. The bolivarist revolucionario ruled Venezuela from 1999, almost continuously, mixing demagogic and dictatorial elements, always reaffirming its socialist doctrine.

Amid all the statements that he left us, I thought "We're not perfect, but we do have democracy" as a link between the Venezuelan (ex) President and Egypt, as democracy is its main challenge at the moment.
