Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈuɣo rafaˈel ˈtʃaβes ˈfɾi.as]; born 28 July 1954) is the current President of Venezuela, having held that position since 1999. He was formerly the leader of the Fifth Republic Movement political party from its foundation in 1997 until 2007, when he became the leader of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). Following his own political ideology of Bolivarianism and "Socialism for the 21st Century", he has focused on implementing socialist reforms in the country as a part of a social project known as the Bolivarian Revolution, which has seen the implementation of a new constitution, participatory democratic councils and the nationalisation of several key industries.
Born into a working class family in Sabaneta, Barinas, Chávez became a career military officer, and after becoming dissatisfied with the Venezuelan political system, he founded the secretive Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement-200 (MBR-200) in the early 1980s to work towards overthrowing it. Chávez led the MBR-200 in an unsuccessful coup d'état against the Democratic Action government of President Carlos Andrés Pérez government in 1992, for which he was imprisoned. Getting out of prison after two years, he founded a social democratic political party, the Fifth Republic Movement, and was elected president of Venezuela in 1998. He subsequently introduced a new constitution which increased rights for marginalised groups and altered the structure of Venezuelan government, and was re-elected in 2000. During his second presidential term, he introduced a system of Bolivarian Missions, Communal Councils and worker-managed cooperatives, as well as a program of land reform, whilst also nationalising various key industries.

Dylan Mee: It's like he was expelling me for my artwork.::Benjamin Mee: I can live almost with the artwork. I mean, if Charles Manson needed a personal muralist, you'd be the guy.
[Dylan sees letters that spells "If you love me, let me know" on the store window, and decides to run towards Lily's cabin]::Dylan Mee: 20 seconds of courage. 20 seconds of courage. Okay. Okay. [knocks on Lily's window. She squeals a disturbed noise, turns around and sees him. She walks to the window and opens it]::Lily Miska: Hi.::Dylan Mee: Hi. Look, am I nuts to say that I missed you like crazy a lot? A lot! [Lily shakes her head] I was... I wasn't named after Bob Dylan. I was named after a dog named Dylan.::Lily Miska: [laughs] I don't really care. Who cares. Sorry about the rain.::Dylan Mee: No, I love it. I love your hair, I love your sign, Lily, I love you. [Lily stops laughing the moment he says the word "you". They look at each other for a while, then smile before they move in for a hug through the window opening]
Benjamin Mee: You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.
Duncan Mee: I like the animals. I love the people.
Lily Miska: [to Kelly during the opening of the zoo] If you had to choose between people and animals, who would you pick?::[Kelly doesn't answer]::Lily Miska: Me, too. People!
Rosie Mee: [as Walter Ferris is finalizing his inspection] You know, everybody here thinks you're a dick. I don't know what that means, but I don't think that.
Benjamin Mee: You seem really calm.::Peter MacCready: Ah.::Benjamin Mee: Have you been drinking?::Peter MacCready: All night long.::Benjamin Mee: Thanks for that.::Peter MacCready: Anytime.
Benjamin Mee: Their happy is too loud.
