Venezuela: Impressions of Maracaibo

Categories: Latin America, Venezuela

Adam Isacson gives a detailed description [1] of his weekend visit to Venezuela's second largest city, Maracaibo; where he says that McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Citibank are more evident than pro-Chavez propaganda. Isacson also notes that the price of gas in the petroleum exporting port is around US 25 cents a gallon. Meanwhile, Solana Larsen says that World Social Forum organizers in Caracas issued a statement [2] to distance themselves from Chavez's administration.
