Venezuela's Political Disaster - January 7, 2007

Dear Journalists,

It seems that Chavez started the new year with a more radical and controversial staff. Venezuelans are reacting to the new National Assembly staff. The political party COPEI complaint that the members had worked for Chavez before without correcting any of the problems. COPEI announced that 115,000 Venezuelans have died in city violence since Chavez took office.

Venezuelans need help from developed governments and international organizations to restore democracy and end corruption.

Cordially,
