Forty-five percent of respondents in the latest survey conducted
by research firm Hinterlaces "disagree with" plans to establish
the so-called "21st-century socialism" in the country, while
22 percent said "Don't know" or "No answer," according to
AFP.
While 33 percent agree with the proposal to implement the
"21st-century socialism," most of them believe "socialism"
involves social programs and solidarity.
When asked whether they would support "implementation of
Cuba-like socialism," 86 percent of respondents said no.
Seventy-eight percent rejected "violent, rude confrontation
with the United States." While a sector of the population
does support President Hugo Chávez' "brave" and "sovereign"
stances, it also questions his "excess and rudeness."
Sixty-one percent of respondents rejected indefinite presidential
reelection, and 86 percent showed disagreement with "expropriations
of private companies" by the Venezuelan Government.
The survey found that 85 percent of Venezuelans believe "what
is harming both Chávez' Government and the revolution
the most is insecurity, corruption and the inefficiency of
his officials."
