Hugo Chavez Wikipage By: Brian Boyle - Basic Information o **Current City**- Caracas, Venezuela o **Hometown**- Barinas, Venezuela o **Sex**- Male o **Birthday**- July 28th, 1954 o **Political Views**- Bolivarianism, Democratic Socialism o **Religious Views**- Roman Catholic o **Bio** - Hugo Chavez is an extremely unique and powerful individual, to say the least. Hugo Chavez is the current president of Venezuela. He was born on July 28th, 1954 and started his life growing up in an underprivileged area living off of very little money. As Hugo Chavez got older and finished high school, he enrolled in the Venezuelan Academy of Military Sciences (he later went on to attend Simon Bolivar University). Hugo Chavez rose through the ranks at the Venezuelan Academy of Military Sciences and eventually became a lieutenant colonel. Hugo Chavez served in the military for a total of 17 years! Hugo Chavez eventually became interested in Simon Bolivar and read many of his books and learned his philosophies. This led to Hugo Chavez’s famous attempt at overrunning the Venezuelan President. Chavez attempted to organize many of his military personnel to aid him in conquering Carlos Perez. Chavez’s attempt failed after many of his “helpers” left him during mid-operation because of Hugo Chavez’s numerous betrayals and lies to countless people. His “helpers” did not trust him and left Hugo Chavez literally stranded in a dark building while he was attempting to intersect Carlos Perez when he returned from a flight. Chavez was caught and arrested. He was put in jail for 2 years before he was pardoned out of jail by the President at the time, Rafael Caldera. Hugo Chavez was set free from jail in 1994 and began campaigning for presidency in 1998. In order to gain the trust of voters, Hugo Chavez stressed his idea of bolivarianism, which Chavez and his partners described as “laying the foundation of a new republic”. Chavez went on to win the 1998 presidential election and is still the president of Venezuela. Chavez is extremely generous to the people of Venezuela and has been known to give out gifts and presents to citizens. For example, Chavez gave out over 2 million copies of a variety of books all for free. Chavez is a good president of Venezuela, but he is also highly controversial as an international- speaker. Hugo Chavez is known for being very rude and opinionated about many political leaders, especially President Bush and Condoleezza Rice. Hugo Chavez is a very interesting man who has lead a different path than most other modern political leaders. o **Favorite Quotations**- “I march to my own beat.”, “Don’t mess with me.”, “The first duty of a government is to educate to the people” - Relationships o **Mother**- Elena Frías de Chávez o **Father**- Hugo de los Reyes Chávez o **Daughters**- Rosa Virginia Chavez, María Gabriela, Rosinés Chavez o **Sons**- Hugo Rafael Chavez o **Brothers**- Adán Chavez o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">**Sisters**- none - <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Likes and Interest o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">**Activities**- Baseball team, fantasy baseball, book club, and debate team o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">**Interests**- Baseball, politics, and reading o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">**Music**- “El Corrido De La Caballeria”, “Battle Music”- Album.

Despite that, Hugo Chavez is certainly somebody who does not like people messing with him!

It is kind of an obscure group, yes,but Hugo Chavez certainly likes to plan things out before he does anything. One of Chavez's most famous actions was when he planned an attack to assassinate the Venezuelan president. He single-handedly organized almost an entire army to help him out (but it failed because of his reputation for lying to people who help him). Hugo Chavez is very smart and always plans for everything before he does something, which is exactly why this group would be perfect for him. - <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">**ekoanaliz**- This group has a very interesting name, in fact I am not exacly sure what it spells or means.

Since Chavez has become the president of Venezela he has not had much time to play baseball, which is exactly why this group would be perfect for him. This group discusses fantasy baseball, which is perfect for Hugo Chavez since he does not have enough time to play real baseball. This group would be a nice source of entertainment for Chavez where he would get to argue about who better pitchers are and all sorts of topics he loves to talk about regarding baseball. - <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">**trash_talking**- This group is very much like the previous group "Don'tMess".
