Chávez will be able to modify the Constitution largely as he pleases, and pack both the justice system and the electoral authority with his placemen. He will continue to dole out oil-based subsidies in the well-worn Venezuelan tradition of Marcos Pérez Jiménez and Carlos Andrés Pérez.
在可以预期的未来，重大变化不大可能出现。查韦斯基本上可以随心所欲地修改宪法，并用其人马充斥司法系统和选举机关。他将继续奉行知名的委内瑞拉吉梅内斯和佩雷斯的传统，提供以石油作为后盾的补贴。因此，查韦斯将在明年再次当选，并将在下一个十年前一直掌权。
