A fraternal comment from am activist in the UK hands off Venezuela campaign. In your translation of the article where the PSUV delegates elected Comandante Chavez as PSUV President, you stated that 100,000,300 people will participate in the vote for the temporary national directorate of the PSUV. As the population of Venezuela is 27 million and the PSUV membership is 5,7 million, how can more than 100 million take part in the vote?
