Which Latin American head of state was in news in 2009 for ordering the obligatory acquisition of the Margarita Hilton & Suites Hotel Complex a Hilton-run hotel on the Caribbean resort island of Margarita in Nueva Esparta state?

Hugo Chavez, the late President of Venezuela (1999-2013), ordered the acquisition of the Margarita Hilton & Suites Hotel Complex in 2009 as part of his socialist nationalization policy. This was part of his broader program of nationalizing key industries and properties. The other Latin American leaders listed - Raul Castro (Cuba), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Daniel Ortega (Nicaragua), and Rafael Correa (Ecuador) - were all leftist leaders but this specific hotel acquisition occurred in Venezuela.
