ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – There is no doubt that the former president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, left an indelible mark on the world and his very recent death on March 5 gave many people a reason to pause and remember. Chávez was no stranger to controversy. In some cases, he almost seemed to thrive on it. He was brash and outspoken and minced no words; especially as it related to his opinions on the United States of America as one of the new global imperialists. Around the world, there were admirers and critics. Some people loved him and some hated him. It is probably these very strong reactions and opinions that will keep the legacy of Hugo Chávez alive.
