I 100% believe them. Chavez was always a conservative unionist, he lacked intersectionality and solidarity with other workers and now it is more clear than ever that his union work was for is own self interest. He was happy to throw immigrant workers other the bus for "undermining" his union, and now it seems he also didn't give a shit about women and girls either. He is not and was never a leftist, he was a yellow unionist who wanted to get paid more and that was about the extent of his participation with class struggle. Why do you think the amerikkkian empire threw up so many statues of him? he was the perfect "acceptable" worker leader for liberals to diffuse communist tendencies and I'm not surprised he was also aremoved.
