(39,405 posts)40. leaked docs show anti-Chavez candidate plans to go full neoliberal after election
In early September 2012 David De Lima, a former governor of Anzoategui, published a document he said showed secret MUD plans to implement much more neoliberal policy, if elected, than their public statements showed. De Lima said the document was a form of policy pact between some of the candidates in the MUD primary, including Capriles.[33] On 6 September 2012 opposition legislator William Ojeda denounced these plans and the "neoliberal obsessions" of his colleagues in the MUD;[34] he was suspended by his A New Era party the following day.[35] Capriles said that his signature on the document was a forgery,[36] while the MUD's economic advisor said that the MUD had "no hidden agenda", and that its plans included the "institutionalisation" of the government's Bolivarian Missions so that they would no longer be "subject to the whims of government".[37] Nonetheless, several days later four small parties withdrew from the MUD coalition.[38] One small coalition party claimed De Lima had offered them money to withdraw from the MUD;[39] De Lima denied the claim.[40] On 30 September, another opposition politician, Aldo Carmeno from christian-democratic party COPEI, withdrew support to Capriles, criticised Capriles for "false" and "tricking of venezuelan people". Carmeno announced support to Hugo Chávez.[41]

Capriles is like Santos, he is not going to "give the country back to the rich."

He wants rMoney in the driver's seat, plainly. He knows that his "endorsement" is no help.
