Chávez’s popularity, according to community media, is not growing just in Venezuela. He is very popular among poor people in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and all over Latin América. Recently, the Venezuelan leader visited Argentina and Brazil. His speeches were clapped every time he mention about Latin American integration.

09.02.2005 According to Datanalisis, a Venezuelan survey taker, President Hugo Chávez, has surpassed a 65% rating during the last days. The pollster recognizes that this percentage is the highest reached by Chávez, except during the first months of his administration.

Latin American political analysts, assure that the popularity of Chávez has grown since the kidnapping, in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, of Rodrigo Granda, a Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), top officer.

Venezuelan anti Chávez officers kidnapped Granda and took him to the Colombian border and handed him to Colombian security forces. Later on, Colombian militaries showed him on T.V. assuring that he was captured in Colombia’s territory. Chávez who argued that Colombian violated Venezuela’s sovereignty condemned the action.

The Venezuelan president has shown proofs that the Colombian guerrilla fighter was kidnapped in Caracas. Hundreds of thousands Venezuelan have supported Chávez and have held marches in defense of the national sovereignty. They even celebrated the “Day of Dignity” in which reiterated the support to their president.

This is very strange news, considering "Datanalisis" has ALWAYS been described as "openly" and even "virulently" anti-Chavez. What's up?

It had been included, somehow, in a list of articles which should ALL be no older than last night.

Very sorry.
