CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is looking to 2010 facing a recession, trying to prevent widespread power outages, and warning his opponents against a coup attempt.
Chavez said in a televised speech Wednesday that any action like the failed military rebellion against him in 2002 wouldn’t have a chance.
“If something like that occurs to you, our counterattack is going to be firm. I’m warning you,” Chavez said.
Chavez was responding to a prediction by Newsweek magazine, which listed a coup in Venezuela among its world predictions for 2010.
