Capriles: The president should not complain but solve problems

The San Juan Bautista route in Puerto Cabello municipality, central Carabobo State, was visited by the candidate of the opposition Unified Democratic Panel (MUD), Henrique Capriles, who on Friday toured the villages of Carabobo state to convey his message of progress.

To the sound of the drums of San Juan in the town of Guaiguaza, Capriles took the opportunity to address the situation in the Penitentiary System in the country and reiterated that the national government "could not solve the problem" and "in 14 years they have not completed any work" in this area.

"We want a country where justice works and is for everyone," he said.

According to Capriles, President Hugo Chávez has failed to reply adequately to reporters' questions about his new proposals to the country. "Some people have nothing to offer," contended Capriles.

"They asked him (Chávez) what new things he was offering to the people and he got mixed up. Yesterday (Thursday) we saw him taking sides with those who complain about the government, even though he is the one who holds the power and resources (to solve people's problems)," Capriles noted.

"He (Chávez) should be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. When you're in this position, you have to solve problems, not to complain," the opposition candidate.
