It was no surprise to Gugulethu Moyo, former lawyer for the now banned Daily News newspaper, that the first law signed by President Mugabe in 2005 further increased already draconian restrictions on media in the country.

Durante l’apertura della conferenza del Presidente Hugo Chávez è stato confermato il Venezuela come la sede di una delle edizioni regionali del Forum Sociale Mondiale del 2006. Il presidente Chávez ha fatto al pubblico un resoconto del suo lavoro per il Venezuela, definito da lui una “rivoluzione”, con tanto di statistiche alla mano, al punto di far supporre una sorta di ringraziamento del supporto fornitogli dal Governo Lula durante le due crisi interne che ha dovuto fronteggiare.
