 CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez declared his candidacy for re-election on Saturday with warnings that Washington is trying to undermine December's presidential vote and destabilize Venezuela.
Chavez arrived punching his fist in the air at the electoral council's headquarters in downtown Caracas, where throngs of supporters from across the country formed a sea of red — the color of his political party.
"I am the candidate of the revolution and without a doubt I am the candidate of the national majority, of those who continue transforming the country and saving it from the capitalist quagmire," Chavez said.
