Hugo Chavez started building his public image on the 4 of February with his declaration on a national TV channel just after being arrested with others soldiers during a military insurrection. During his first speech, Hugo Chavez managed to obtain the support of most Venezuelan citizens by associating himself to Simon Bolivar. After this, Hugo Chavez increased his power within Venezuelan politics and in 1998 became President of Venezuela. Since then Hugo Chavez promoted many reforms based on the “Bolivar doctrine”, this doctrine had a strategic role reviving Bolivar political myth, one of the most efficient tool used by Chavez to keep the power.
