"Certified as free and fair by international observers" might be a bit
strong. Just going on what's in wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_chavez

It seems he's better than SLORC, but probably not a lot better, if any,
than Mugabe.

The wikipedia article is so full of cross-references and amendments
that whatever points the originators (pro and anti Chavez) were trying
to make, the foreground has gone underground due to the weight of the
background.

So, if you could elucidate, it might help?
