Hugo Chavez, the socialist dictator who ran Venezuela since 1999, died yesterday after battling with cancer for nearly two years. He was first diagnosed with the cancer in June of 2011. He was 58 years old. Chavez has run Venezuela for 14 years as a virtual one-man show. He gradually placed all state institutions under his personal control. He had just won re-election this past October defeating the youthful Miranda State Gov. Henrique Capriles. He will be expected to represent the opposition when the next election to replace Chavez takes place. The Venzuelan constitution says that elections are to be called within 30 days.
