Chavez supporters march in Caracas - Gayo Lues
Crowds of people marched through downtown Caracas toward Plaza O’Leary on Saturday, praising Chavez’s social programs and chanting: “Hi Ho. Chavez is not going to go.”
“We are here defending the (social) missions, which are the most humble thing, the most human thing, President Chavez‘s love,” a youth shouted in the crowd.
The Venezuelan president did not attend the event himself but thanked his supporters “for so much love,” saying, “Bravo for the (social) mission,” via Twitter.
Henrique Capriles, Chavez’s closest rival, who is touring the country ahead of the election, has said he supports some of Chavez’s social programs, such as housing and health care.
Venezuela will hold a presidential election on October 7 to choose a president for the six-year term beginning in February 2013.
The main candidates are incumbent Hugo Chavez, representing the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, and opposition candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski, representing the Justice First party.
Chavez is trying to win a third term in office.
There are five more candidates from other parties.
