Question

Why did chavez have such widespread support when he first ran forpresident of venezuela?

Answer 1

Answer:

The so-called Bolivarian Revolution began when Hugo Chávez was elected president of Venezuela in 1998. Chávez won the elections with 56.5% of the votes and ruled the country until his death in 2013, when Nicolás Maduro took office.

In 1992, Chávez led a coup against President Carlos Andrés Pérez but was arrested and ended up in jail. Two years later, he received a pardon from Rafael Caldera, the president of the government at the time.

Chávez then founded the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR) party and for two years he was touring Venezuela to explain his political project based on socialism.

In November 1998, after winning the elections with the support of other left-wing parties, Hugo Chávez became the youngest president of Venezuela.
