Mario Vargas Llosa discuses the long standing question of why Latin America has had so many caudillos.
Mario Vargas Llosa, the distinguished Peruvian writer, comments on the death of the caudillo Chavez and its long term implications for Venezuela. It’s worth reading and contemplating the question of why Latin America has had so many caudillos. His concluding thoughts about Venezuela’s future:
“Y que la democracia del futuro acabará con los abusos del poder, restableciendo la legalidad, restaurando la independencia del Poder Judicial que el chavismo aniquiló, acabando con esa burocracia política elefantiásica que ha llevado a la ruina a las empresas públicas, creando un clima estimulante para la creación de la riqueza en el que los empresarios y las empresas puedan trabajar y los inversores invertir, de modo que regresen a Venezuela los capitales que huyeron y la libertad vuelva a ser el santo y seña de la vida política, social y cultural del país del que hace dos siglos salieron tantos miles de hombres a derramar su sangre por la independencia de América Latina.”
