Dagens Chavez

Vägledande citat

Again, I think the difference between Chavez and most others even on the left is that Chavez is seeking to win, and we are instead seeking, as often as not, to avoid alienating pundits or to even appeal to them. We are seeking to avoid annoying anyone we like, or anyone we might like, or who might like us. We are seeking to avoid looking odd to anyone, or to avoid making a mistake, or to avoid seeming shrill and angry, or self serving, or passionate. And we need to transcend all that.

Jättedemonstration på Cuba. Dock dök inte Fidel Castro upp som det ryktats om. Demonstranterna krävda rättvisa i fallet Luis Posada Carriles, terroristen som nyligen släpps fri av en amerikansk domstol.

I Ecuador firade presidenten Rafael Correa (som syns i mitten av bilden) 1 maj. Det var första gången på 30 år som landets president brytt sig om 1 maj.
