''James Petras, professor emeritus of Sociology at Brighampton University
told RT that given Chavez’s anti-US policies Washington would prefer
Capriles as the “more malleable client.”
“Along the line, both domestically and foreign policy-wise,
President Chavez has been defining an alternative route for Latin
America and has played a major role in lessening the US influence in the
region,” said Petras. He added that this effectively meant the “exclusion of the United States.”
Citing Chavez’s promotion of the “redistribution of politics and the nationalizing of several important oil, petroleum and gas companies,” Petras said that the US and EU would like to “get rid of Chavez” because on many issues he is “on the other side of the political map.''
