No.''were created for this.

Our only purpose is to protect

the country from foreign invasion.''

Exactly three years later,

in February 1992 ...

Chavez launched a failed coup

to overthrow the government.

But the promised attack

never happened.

The Venezuelan government has avoided

Worse, when troops loyal ...

dominated a violent blow

midnight.

After killing 70 people ...

the rebel troops failed

to overthrow President Perez.

And the great news that I bring

to all Venezuelans. . .

is that all outbreaks

been mastered.

And they're all arrested,

have surrendered. . .

or because they were captured.

Chavez was caught

and was arrested two years.

He assumed full responsibility,

publicly.

Comrades, unfortunately. . .

for now, the goals

we plan. . .

were not met

in our capital.

Namely, we

here in Caracas. . . .

we can not control the power.

And I, in front of you and the country,

I assume all responsibility. . .

this movement

Bolivarian military.

Thank you.

No doubt, the coup was illegal.

And against the same defenders

democracy that Chvez ...

later, defend the coup

against their own government.

Moreover,

not gone unnoticed ...

that the majority of the population

saw Chavez as a hero.

And I guarantee

safely. . .

this will be the last time. . .

that Venezuela will

by a situation like this.

There was much celebration

in the Venezuelan capital, today ...

after the Supreme Court ordered

President Carlos Andres Perez ...

on trial for accusations

fraud.

He is accused of having

stolen $ 17 million from the government.

In 1997, Chavez decides

Condo presidential bid.

His greatest opponent is a blonde,

They begin to call the race

of the Beauty and the Beast.

The former Miss Universe employs

trembling platitudes ...

while Chavez is

preaching revolution.

And this is what the people want to hear.

In Venezuela, the election Sunday. . .

may end in an upset

leftist government.

His supporters called

voting for punishment.

And it took this man to power,

Venezuela.

The ex-army

they said go fight ...

against a tradition of corruption

and economic inequality.

In 1998, four years

after being released ...

the inflation rate in Venezuela

reach a record 78% ...

and the government have done more cuts

social spending ...

the body politic was

totally discredited.

Despite opposition from all media ...

Hugo Chavez

was elected president.

For someone who led

a coup just six years ago. . .

is so popular for the people?

We live 40 years seeing thieves

dresses politicians.

This power that you guys gave me. . .

not belong to me.

This power is of you.

You guys elected the government. . .

that will not be the Chavez government.

Because Chavez is the people.

It will be the people's government!

He has promised reforms to raise

living conditions of the poor.

Enhance democracy.

And share the profits

country's oil ...

with those who were never

benefited in the past.

In three years, Chavez

proclaimed Venezuela ...

a Bolivarian Republic.

And he began to fulfill his promise.

Statues of the beloved Simon Bolivar

The Liberator ...

watch his homeland,

Caracas.

He took six South American countries

Condo freedom.

Bolivar.

It's a photo of Bolivar. . .

in the fullness of his glory.

At its peak, Bolivar. . .

At its peak, Bolivar. . .

Peru, with all its glory.

Moreover, Bolivar thought

in terms of centuries. . .

and saw the world in terms

continents.

I'm with you, Chavez!

Hello, President!

For two consecutive days,

Bush administration officials. . .

declare your concern with

the political situation in Venezuela.

We are concerned

with some of the actions. . .

Venezuelan President

Chavez. . .

and their understanding of what is

indeed, the democratic system.

Of course, Venezuela is important. . .

it is the third largest producer

oil.

I would say that Chvez. . .

and the Department of State

might say that. . .

not have good intentions

Compared to the U.S..

Chvez's reforms have caused

Resistance of the oligarchy of the country.

We have a lying government.

They're a bunch of bastards.

Controlled the Venezuelan media

and used it to stir opposition.

Also mobilized officers

within the armed forces ...

and received U.S. aid

and Spain.

I think the most reasonable

for the president and his cabinet. . .

is to submit his resignation. . .

or disappear from the country.

A business man,

Pedro Carmona ...

was chosen to be

the new president.

He was taken to make Spain Condo

measures for the presidential sash.

The coup against Chavez had

only one reason:
oil.

Bush's plan.

First, Chavez.

Oil.

Second, Saddam.

-Iraq.

-The cause of the coup in Venezuela. . .

and the invasion of Iraq

is the same:
oil.

On April 11, 2002 ...

groups of Chavez supporters

and members of the opposition ...

in local marches were

different city.

Later, members

opposition decided ...

through the city toward

the Government Palace ...

where Chavez supporters

were assembled.

He wants us to be like Cuba.

He wants us to be like Cuba.

There's no doubt.

Chavez, go f*** yourself, you dog!

As they approached the palace,

suddenly ...

shots were fired from buildings,

and members from both sides ...

were hit in the head.

On a bridge, supporters

hid ...

reciprocated shots of shooters

elite. And against the police ...

who shot them,

two blocks away.

The local press shows

Chavez's supporters ...

shooting the bridge, then showed

the street where the people were hit ...

by snipers.

Manipulating the video to think

that supporters of Chavez ...

had fired the lethal shots.

The press also said

that Chvez himself ...

ordered the massacre

and had used to justify ...

the coup that was already happening.

In the end, it was this that caused

the defeat of Chavez.

Armed gangs loyal

Venezuelan President ...

shots fired from thousands

of opposition members.

After 16 people killed

and hundreds injured ...

last night, soldiers surrounded

the presidential palace.

Mr. President,

I was loyal to you.

That is what the leader of the army

said on national television.

But the assassination of Venezuelan

today was unbearable.

I was under the bridge,

that day.

And I saw the street was empty,

when shots were fired.

When I got home and watched CNN

publicizing this and other stations ...

I was shocked.

There was a guy up there,

on the second floor of that building.

He started shooting, and many

we got hit in the head.

See you.

There was someone up there. . .

shooting people

the bridge on that side.

Shooting at people

who came up on the bridge.

It was a political coup. They're

saying that it was not a coup.

It was a political coup.

He was arrested by the army.

I saw the face of death.

They were about to kill me.

In front of me. Rifles.

Singled out for me.

In front of me.

Behind me.

And I discussed with them.

Thinking of Che Guevara. . .

who say they died standing.

And inside, I said:
