Chávez calls for radicalization

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Wednesday made a call to radicalize his revolution, during a nationwide mandatory radio and TV broadcast on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of April 11, 2002 upheavals that removed him from office for a few hours.

"I am calling upon Venezuelans to radicalize our revolution. We must move away from the idea that politics is the art of making things possible or the idea that we have to seek consensus."

"They will never accept us! Neither the US empire nor the domestic oligarchy," Chávez said, claiming that "there are no ways leading to understanding."

"Radicalization of the revolution, true socialism, anti-empire revolution, this is the way!"
