Caracas, (Prensa Latina) With a social policy favoring the majority, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is successfully achieving his goal of ending prejudice against socialism in the country.
The president disclosed a poll Thursday revealing 47.9 percent of Venezuelans favor a socialist government, 25.7 percent support capitalism, and 24.6 percent did not answer the question.
The survey was done last May 26-June 9 by a private enterprise, and Chavez said although most of Venezuelans prefer socialism over capitalism, the number of undecided people is still high. He called for a continuous ideological offensive "to defeat ghosts."
The Venezuelan president, a self-declared socialist, reiterated in his regular talks with the population that socialism is the only way to overcome privatization, poverty, and a backward state.
