Reflecting on his time in office, President Chavez suggests that mathematically it has only been five years because the first five years were spent fighting aggression and consolidating State administration. It is less than five years that the Road to Socialism was embarked upon, the President muses, and insists that Venezuela will become a Socialist country. "We are beginning to build Socialism ... one of our companions says we have had 10 years and I have said 10 years as well, but really, it's not 10 years." The fundamental task in the first five years, Chavez insists, was to arrive, settle in, and resist serious aggressions, including a coup d'etat, terrorism and sabotage. "The flag of Socialism started to be raised when the government went on the offensive in 2004."
