MADRID. - The Venezuelan electoral campaign is that it burns. The next Sunday the elections will be celebrated, and to collect “merchandising” has become almost a national sport. The “Chavecito”, a doll of about 60 centimeters tall made to image and similarity of the president, it has interchangeable clothes and gives speeches, has become an important trick.
Like in real life, Hugo Chavez can repeat the national anthem or pronounce extracts of his firery diatribas. And for the reasonable price of between 30,000 and 50,000 bolivars (of 10 to 20 euros approximately), which has turned it into an object of desire in the multitudinal chavistas meetings.
In addition, it is possible to dress him and to choose the best suit for each occasion, from a military uniform to his typical red shirt, all it accompanied by his classic red cap. Like any other doll, also it is possible to be changed to positions of the extemeties.
“Chavecito” has sold well. And some parents buy him as a gift for smallest: “Between Chávez and the children exists an energy of mutual attraction”, assures a buyer of chain, ITN. ” What youngster is not going it to like to have a “chavito” that speaks to him in their own house? ”, he adds.
It is the star of a campaign in which the key rings, pins, covers for moving bodies or towels are all the rage in the stores. .
“I summon my town, to the bolivariano town, to all you, to work without rest”, is one of the phrases of this doll, according to the Venezuelan publication “The Universal”. Perhaps hávez the doll of Chávez causes the fantasies of some boy or girl. What is more probable is that it will give them nightmares.
