Venezuelans in Miami awaiting Chavez's health

The candidate for whom they voted, Henrique Capriles, the opposition lost.Resigned to see President Hugo Chavez in power six years, she and many resumed their lives Venezuelan expatriates in the United States, convinced that it will be long before there are changes in your country. But now that Chavez has serious health problems Venezuela is again mired in uncertainty and so do thousands of Venezuelans living in Miami but have one foot in Venezuela are cautiously optimistic that Chavez may continue to pursue the presidency and that there will be new elections in his country, but do not know how fast will be called. "It's traumatic for all Venezuelans," said Sollami, who is 22 and whose father still lives in Venezuela. 
Chavez should take the oath and begin a new term on January 10, but not what has been seen or heard from him since he underwent on December 11 to a fourth operation related cancer that afflicts him. Vice President Nicolás Maduro, Chavez's favorite to succeed him if something happens, said the president had suffered complications related to a respiratory infection and that his condition was "delicate." If Chavez can not take the oath on January 10 before the Assembly National, the constitution stipulates that we must call elections within 30 days and in the meantime the president should exercise the National Assembly president. Similarly Cuban exiles cheered when Fidel Castro fell ill five years ago Venezuelans in Miami expect Chavez health disorders pave the way for a leadership change. In the 14 years since Chavez in power, however, Venezuelans who have left their country have adapted to the United States and most would not return to their country, at least in the short term, if the president dies. "Calculation that 70% would stay here, "said Ernesto Ackerman, president of the nonprofit organization Citizens Independent Venezuelan-American. "They're too settled." Over 189,000 Venezuelan immigrants living in the U.S., including 91,000 in Florida, according to the national census. The largest concentration occurs in southern Florida, in communities like Doral and Weston, now called "Doralzuela" and "Westonzuela" by the amount of Venezuelan shops, where you can eat dishes like arepas and capachas. Most are came because they disagree with Chavez's socialist government, were frightened by the number of kidnappings and murders, or thought they had a better economic future in the United States, but many have relatives in Venezuela and travel home to see their families or business. "They have lost their identity Venezuelan" said Thomas Boswell, professor of geography at Miami University. "They have not completely assimilated, but quickly adapted to life in the United States." In some ways, these communities are what Little Havana was for Cubans who arrived after the 1959 communist revolution. 
The parallels abound: The first wave of immigrants was middle class and upper-settled professionals with varying degrees of success. Both communities felt that their stay would be temporary and then realized that last much longer than initially expected and the two retain a great affection for their country. But the similarities end there. Chavez was democratically elected and re-elected several times, while Castro came to power in an armed revolution and while Cubans have benefited from an immigration policy which basically allows you to stay in the country to any Cuban who sets foot on U.S. soil, Venezuelans not have the same privileges, but anyway many have become naturalized. "We have to see what happened (with the Cubans) and draw lessons, but they are two very different situations," said Ackerman, the director of the Venezuelan organization Americans. Venezuelans in Miami launched a campaign to encourage voting last year and organized bus trips by car to New Orleans when Chavez closed the consulate of South Florida. Many believed that Capriles could win and were disappointed when he lost. "Right now the community feels very, very depressed about what happened in the last election," said Ackerman.
 "They say this is not going to go on forever, we should become citizens of the United States." That's what I think Bridgitte Jaffe, who left Venezuela in 2007. Homeownership and there was an estate agent, but he watched every day the situation in the country deteriorated and increased agitation. now works in the field of real estate in South Florida and also has its own department. He says he will stay, regardless of what happens with Chavez. "When you come and start working and have kids here, do not come back," said Jaffe. Doral has only recently with the first Venezuelan Florida mayor, Luigi Boria , who says that most of the people who voted think so. "I think my country is the United States now," said Boria, who came in 1989. Venezuelans say maybe celebrate the death of Chavez, but is unlikely to be mass demonstrations of joy, as when Fidel Castro ceded power to his brother Raul due to health problems in 2008. Like the Cubans, Venezuelans believe that there will be significant changes in the short term. "I feel relieved" if Chavez leave power, Sollami said. "I think things would improve soon in Venezuela."

Miami Latin American millionaires parked and look for "bargains" in Spanish property


The Latin American fortunes begin to turn their eyes to the Spanish property market, following strong price adjustment that has been producing in recent years.
In fact, several of these great fortunes are already contacting some of the largest Spanish banks like Santander , theBBVA or Caixabank , among others, to hear their real estate portfolios, as this newspaper has learned from banking sources.
Some of these families are the richest in the world, according to the latest Forbes magazine, due to the economic recovery of the continent in recent years, with growth rates much higher than European or American.
Elike Batista Billionaire families
and these millionaire families also have investments in many economic sectors very buoyant. These are the Cisneros of Venezuela, the Santodomingo or Sarmiento of Colombia, or Luksic Piñera of Chile, the Salinas, Bailleres and even Carlos Slim of Mexico, or Safra , Salles or Batista of Brazil, among others, already discussed investment property in our country. The global economic and financial crisis does not prevent them from growing large Latin American fortunes. On the contrary, in that region, according to Forbes, there are 62 owners of more than 1,000 million, between 1226 billionaires individual holders of more than 1,000 million dollars. The richest in Latin America are concentrated in Brazil and Mexico. Followers Chile, Colombia, Argentina and Venezuela. Among the ten largest fortunes in the world where there is only one Spanish, the owner of Inditex , Amancio Ortega at number five, two Latin American millionaires, Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim, on the number one, and the Brazilian Eike Batista at number seven. FLORIDA FOCUS OF ATTRACTION All these families of South America, along with many of his compatriots medium / high, recent years have been the most responsible for the revival of Miami real estate market in South Florida, but due to higher sales and they are putting expensive. Real estate investments diverted there by the high prices of their own local markets due to the economic boom. So now analyze Spain, but according to some real estate experts are still a bit high prices in our country, for what they want, but in the very short term there will be many possibilities. The rise of the economies of South America, with rates 5% growth, combined with the appreciation of their currencies against a weakening dollar and political uncertainty in some countries, have been the origin of these massive investment properties in Florida, now might deviate largely to Spain. The mortgage crisis in the U.S. housing market collapsed across the country and especially in Florida. The calculation was that Miami would need more than ten years to recover and sell all built during the construction boom from 2003 to 2007.However, according to promoters of Miami, sales were reactivated since 2010 and have sold about 80%. In fact, it's buying spree has revitalized the real estate business in Miami, where developers are now introducing new building projects.
The Venezuelans, perhaps also by political instability in the country of Hugo Chavez leading the phenomenon. According to the Association of Realtors in Miami, Venezuelans were the biggest buyers in 2011, accounting for 15% of all sales to foreign customers, closely followed by Brazilians and Argentines.In 2011, home sales in Miami real estate market rose by 46% compared to 2010, which has alleged that beginning on or prices recover.
Something is changing in SPAIN
Regarding Spain. There is much evidence to show that foreign sales are recovering, but also has many European buyers. Real estate activity in our country has moderated in the third quarter of 2012 to fall, to rates not seen for almost two years, as evidenced by recent data from the Ministry of Development. Between June and September, existing home sales fell 1.17% year on year up to 75,642, compared to the 11.6% decline that occurred in the second quarter. The fall of the third quarter, according to Reuters collects , is the lowest since the final quarter of 2010 and coincides with the final deadline for deductibility for home purchase up to the end of 2012. However, according to the agency, foreign purchases rose for the fifth consecutive quarter, rising by 18% year between June and September to 8.803.transacciones. Although the Spanish real estate sector situation is still very bad, it seems that something is changing. CRASH PRICE And without doubt this is due to brutal price adjustment that has suffered in recent years from the beginning of the current crisis economical. The National Statistics Institute (INE) has been estimated at 25% from 2007 to mid-year. For the appraiser Tinsa, lower prices more or less from that date until now has been 31% on average but with more spectacular falls, up 37.2% on the Mediterranean coast or 33.5% big cities. And the problem for most analysts is that expected prices should continue to fall, at least until the 50% that fell as the value of homes in Ireland. provisioning land and housing The high rate of unemployment and lack of funding are the two main reasons for this situation is giving many headaches to the present Government. In fact, most of the financial reforms have been directed banks to provision the current value of land and housing.The next step has already launched the Government is the establishment of so-called bad bank, the Sareb that have to compete with their own portfolios of properties are selling banks with large rebates.
