摘要

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has warned that victory for opposition candidate Henrique Capriles in the presidential election on 7 October would lead to "civil war". Chavez said on 9 September: "I ask the rich people who have nice houses, cars, flashy beach apartments and like to travel abroad if a civil war is convenient for them... For those that like tranquillity I invite you to vote for me as I guarantee peace and stability."
