ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Legislators from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) have paid tribute to the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, saying that his vision had inspired millions all over Latin America and the Caribbean.
“The people of our region will never forget that President Chavez held out his hand in solidarity, brotherhood and friendship and made a real difference to their lives.
