scientific seminar on President Hugo Chavez’s political ideology and

The seminar was attended by Venezuelan Ambassador to Vietnam Jorge Rondon Uzcategui.
Hugo Chavez (1954 – 2013) is considered as an icon of revolutionary
Latin America. He founded the revolutionary movement named People’s
Liberation Army of Venezuela in 1977. Until his death in 2013, Chavez
had dedicated 36 years of his life to revolutionary activities, with 15
years as the president of Venezuela, opening a new chapter for the
Latin American country.
His legacy consists of a
15-year-old Bolivarian Revolutionary and a political ideology which
upholds the anti-imperialism banner, uncompromisingly criticises the
neo-liberalism doctrine and zealously seeks a better socio-economic
development model for the nation and people. Chavez also initiated the
idea that the building of socialism in the 21st century, both in theory
and practice, as a sound and suitable path for Venezuela , while
advocating reviving and developing the solidarity bloc of Latin America
.
The building of the 21st century socialism in
Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua has gained many
encouraging achievements, which do great credit to the political
ideology and Chavez himself. The future of Bolivarian Revolutionary also
depends on how his ideology will be applied and continued.
At the event, the Venezuelan Ambassador updated participants with more
information on socialism of the 21st century in Venezuela , and
