Hugo Chavez has another election coming up. He’s got to do something to increase his approval ratings, so he’s planning to seize privately owned homes and hotels so he can offer vacations in paradise to the masses.
Venezuela president Hugo Chavez’s policy of nationalising strategic private businesses has taken a new twist with his announcement that his government will expropriate hotels and holiday homes at an upmarket Caribbean resort.
The president plans to turn Los Roques, an idyllic archipelago of deserted beaches of perfect white sand with swaying palms and dazzling coral reefs, into a state-run getaway for his country’s urban poor.
Speaking on national television, he said that yachts and speedboats confiscated from fugitive bankers would be used to transport holidaymakers from the mainland. “There are some houses there that were illegally built. We are going to expropriate them.” (Read More)

I wonder how long it takes before paradise is lost on Los Roques?
