The presidency of Venezuela is a Juicy Plum and Competition is keen. Rule by Junta a military Junta ruled the country for four years following the Brief Gallegas period and then came Perez Jimenez who held Power from 1952 to 1958. The present administration claims that during the Perez Jimenez regime the country had a Gross income of close to billion.

The Betancourt government has guaranteed the safety of Perez Jimenez and has promised to try him Only for crimes of fraud with a term in prison if he is found guilty Venezuela has no capital punish some friends while Perez Jimenez has Many bitter enemies in Venezuela who will undoubtedly seek immediate revenge by violent Means spurred on by extremist elements the former military dictator still has powerful allies who Are just As Likely to go to his defence. At the same time expected disclosures at what will probably be an some influential venezuelans who might have benefited from the previous military govern ment. Coming As it might just be fore elections the event could have serious although Little has been heard lately from the extreme right some observers believe it is merely. Biding its time hoping As does the left to take advantage of confusion and a divided vote to step in and assume control. Numbering among its members High rank ing army officers it is believed this group would take its Cue from the recent military coups pulled in Argentina Peru Guate Mala and Ecuador. Both lick chops ironically both political extremes would Welcome such a move. The right believing they could retain Power through Force. In the other hand the left is jetting such a manoeuvre would play into its own toys causing a severe Adverse reaction among Jie people. Then it would ride is wave of sentiment into con Rol of the country.

According to Gustavo Machado titular head of the venezuelan communist party and a congressional Deputy venezuelan Oil and Iron Are More strategically important to International communism than Cuba s sugar and tobacco. . Enemy Machado is quoted As say ing recently we maintain that the enemy of the venezuelan liberation movement is the United states monopolists. So in any War action we always Point to this president Betancourt so far has been winning his Battle with the communists. But his efforts to crack Down further have been hindered by non communist opposition political parties. News papers have been closed and hundreds have been jailed but the president is charged with using these repressive measures not Only against the communists but against any who oppose him. Or. Betancourt s one time poli tical coalition among the three major political parties has practically fallen apart and his own party accion democratic and has split Down the Middle. Moderates have joined with both political extremes to accuse the president of heavy repression of political Venezuela has shown marked economic Progress Over the past four years but several Basic so Cial problems remain to be solved among them unemployment and housing. 8 per cent a venezuelan congressional committee reported recently that workers , about 8 per cent of the City s Popula Tion Are without employment. Thousands continue to live in squalid conditions in the slums surrounding Caracas and hous ing of the poor in the Interior is no less miserable. Hence explosive social pressures Are a constant threat to the govern ment. Against this backdrop of poli tical and economic turmoil is the announced candidacy of Raul Leoni an old Friend and co worker of president Betancourt who recently was nominated to head and s ticket in the november elections. Betancourt won the 1958 elections because he had Strong support from labor and peasant Farmers significantly he won the Interior but failed to. Take Caracas which continues to re main a source of political irritation. Or. Leoni will be faced with the same problem. In Addi will not be helped by a hoped for political coalition. Strong line up lined up against the and candidate Are the democratic re Public Union the social Christian party coped the revolutionary., left movement outspoken Castro support ers and several independents. Another candidate has been produced from the and split. Or. Betancourt has managed to remain in office the past four years despite continued hard blows from the right and the left. His staying Power is attributed not Only to his mildly socialist program but equally As important to his magnetic personality and shrewdness neither of these political Vir tues is said to be possessed by Leoni. The and candidate is. Expected to scrape through principally be cause he will have his party s platform and or. Betancourt s prestige to Back him up. But assuming that Venezuela reaches election time in novem Ber without experiencing another military coup it is feared that or. Leoni lacking the apolitical astuteness and talents of president might suffer the same Fate air befell president Gallegos Only 14 years ago when he was overthrown less than one year after the took office.
