In 2002, The New York Times's Deborah Sontag, then a staff writer for the magazine, profiled Hugo Chávez, who was just beginning his fourth year as Venezuela's president. Sontag went to his residence in Caracas and watched him perform a live broadcast of "Aló Presidente!" ("Hello, President!"), his weekly television show. (Rachel Nolan also wrote about that program for the magazine last year.)
That broadcast in late April 2002 was the first made by Chávez after being ousted in a violent, bloody coup earlier that month and then being reinstated days later. Many in Venezuela tuned in to "Aló Presidente!" on that occasion, Sontag noted, in hopes of making sense of what the coup meant for Chávez (he projected calm, even as he seemed "strained"). Sontag continued:
Whether they love him or loathe him, Venezuelans say that Chávez, who took office in early 1999, has awakened Venezuela from its political somnolence, empowered the poor and stirred the elite to re-engage after years of inactivity. He has been like a shock therapist, exposing and exploiting the profound class divisions in Venezuelan society that can never be ignored again.
His death this week has administered at least one more shock to the country.
