Adios, Chavez
Mar 07, 2013
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Like others in this hemisphere and around the world, people in Trinidad and Tobago were naturally drawn to the larger-than-life figure of drama and colour projected by the late president Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
His geopolitical influence and ambitions thrust way beyond the boundaries of the republic he dominated for 14 years, reaching even intimately into the English-speaking Caribbean. Somehow, however, T&T remained relatively untouched by more than the engaging theatrics that characterised "Chavismo".
T&T (and Barbados) remained outside PetroCaribe and was never beckoned to join the fold of the Chavez-designed ALBA, Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America.
