Today’s press conference has just started minutes
ago with President Maduro lamenting the coverage of Venezuela by international
media: “It is biased and partial against our country. (…) You [international
media] have made the world believe that there is chaos here. You don’t know what
real chaos and violence are!”
Worth mentioning is the background artwork
of the conference: Four paintings in the beautiful socialist realist style now
favored by the government.
Three of the paintings are within the frame of the camera. Between
Minister Arreaza and Maduro, Chávez in deep though, with Bolivar as guiding
figure in the back, and a planet, which the Comandante
Eterno is presumably planning on saving from Capitalism. Next, Chávez giving
instructions, also with Bolivar in the background, and a map of South America. The
third painting,
partially covered by Minister Ramírez, is as
a Kim IL Sung style portrait of Chávez under blue skies, saluting the People.
What is Chávez doing in the fourth picture? The
camera does not yet show. Maybe later.
Here is a picture of the conference published
by El Universal:
Update 16/11/2013: An image from AVN shows
the fourth picture. It’s also Chávez, with a sombrero de cogollo:
