If you want the Pros and Cons on Chavez read this

In there it talks about how most of the land belongs to the elite and then it discusses "Fátima Vieira, the daughter of a Portuguese truck driver who moved to Venezuela 50 years ago, said she was struggling to receive compensation for a 170-acre sugar cane farm controlled by squatters.
As on other seized estates, she said squatters burned much of her sugar cane in an attempt to intimidate her.

Vieira, 43, said she also feared for her life after a gunman shot her brother, Antonio, in the neck one balmy night in August in 2003, on the edge of his sugar cane farm. He died in the cab of his Ford pickup truck. After that incident squatters took over his property, she said."

The Daughter and Son of an immigrant truck driver are elite?
