¿Cuáles son las ideas y propuestas de Capriles, el candidato de oposición de Venezuela?

Aparentemente lo suyo es ser el Lula venezolano. Una especie de Binner tropical. La cosa apunta a seguir en la misma dirección actual – estatismo dirigista - pero con mayor respeto de las formas democráticas.

En fin, no le pidamos peras al olmo. Por un lado, es muy difícil proponer otra cosa en un sistema populista-clientelista y, por otro, con sacar a Chávez del poder ya le habrá hecho un enorme servicio a su país:

Using Venezuela: Un Acuerdo para Alcanzar el Desarrollo as a guide, it is clear that Capriles Radonski’s main advisors are not driven by right-wing philosophy. Their arguments shun ideology for pragmatism and, if anything, envision a strong role for the state in the economy. In calling for greater tax revenues, they envision a model similar to Brazil where a large, social-democratic state cooperates with the private sector.

Capriles Radonski has hinted at this vision throughout the campaign. He talks about being a follower of Lula’s model, and of supporting Brazil’s model of the public and private sectors working together to create jobs. He also has pledged to not reverse many of Chávez’s policies including leaving intact many regulations—such as the controversial currency exchange control—until the economy “is ready for it.” If elected, he has promised that the hundreds of expropriated private companies and farms will not be re-privatized, but instead will be studied on a case-by-case basis.
