KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, CMC - Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves is proposing that a facility in St. Vincent and the Grenadines be named in honour of former Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, who died of cancer last week.
“I believe that it would be fitting for us, at some time, to have a facility, whether it be a school or some other public building or facility, named after President Chavez,” Gonsalves told Parliament.
He described the late Venezuelan leader as a “giant of a political figure, a splendid human being” and an “integrationist for the region, one who possessed a profound dislike of injustice, a man for the poor and the working people and our Latin America and the Caribbean”.
