Heinz Dieterich, a German sociologist and political analyst residing in Mexico, a theoretician of the Socialism of the 21st century and adviser to Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez, said that if the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) loses parliamentary elections scheduled for September 26, "the revolution will come to an end."

In the opinion of Dieterich, if Chávez wants to win elections "he has to solve security problems, government's inefficiency, economic crisis and the loss of credibility in official discourse, among others. To solve these problems, the current model of government has to be reinvented. Only PSUV leaders can impose such change," he said.

The possibility of a war between Colombia and Venezuela "is very real because Washington has decided that Chávez must leave, at all costs (...).Bolivarianism is inconsistent with the Monroe Doctrine and therefore it represents a threat. In order to remove Chávez, they prepare an aggression war, using false positives, alleged tolerance of drug traffic and presumed cooperation with Hezbollah" Dieterich said in an interview released by Ámbito Financiero.
