President Hugo Chávez held a final [1] campaign event in Caracas on October 4. Despite the rain, his followers filled major avenues in central Caracas, waving flags and cheering as they showed their support before election day on October 7.
The English language version of El Universal reported [2]:
[President Chávez] delivered a 32-minute speech in which he underscored the message he has delivered in his previous campaign events: that he is the candidate for the future and that “the life of Venezuela is at stake.”
Under the rain, Chávez said: “We have been bathed with the holly water of the St Francis’ downpour. We feel blessed by God with this rain. It is the prelude of what is going to happen on Sunday. Chávez is to win on October 7.”
