 In 2006, Noam Chomsky expressed a certain degree of support for Chávez and his policies, saying that he was "quite interested" by his policies and that he regarded "many of them" as "quite constructive", noting that most importantly Chávez seemed to enjoy overwhelming support from his people after "six closely supervised elections".According to an article in "The New York Sun", "Chavismo" was rejected in elections around 2006 in Peru, Colombia and Mexico.
