Chavez threatens "bourgeoisie" for economic woes

Advertisements [?]

CARACAS, May 9 (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is promising tough measures against "bourgeois" speculators whom he blames for the OPEC member nation's runaway inflation and ever-weaker bolivar currency.

"We need to stop this right now. The bourgeoisie do not listen to appeals to their conscience. Let's act with a firm hand," the fiery socialist told his Cabinet late on Saturday, in a familiar response to times of economic difficulty.
