Interesting to see that the government owned shops were set up by the Socialist Chavista regime with the aim to never again be subject to shortages of goods yet they themselves are suiffering a huge shortage of goods.
Of course it is all the fault of the ‘evil’ opposition forces and not the result of dunderheaded policies of the government itself – “According to one official, the children of the rich are “infiltrating people into the queues” to cause trouble.”
- Venezuela is under active economic attack by the western financial markets and billion dollar hedge funds. What do you expect.
- Not to forget all those rich kids standing in line to make the country look foolish.
- Gosman, you are a fool. You know nothing about Venezuela.And, no, haunting right wing blogs and watching Fox News is not a credible way of learning anything.I told you some time ago to embark on a course of deep, sustained and serious reading. You clearly have not done so. Why are you still here?
- Do you think The Economist is making stuff up about Venezuela?Do you deny there are massive shortages and people waiting in lines for hours?If this is in fact happening how do you explain it if not as the result of policies of the government of Venezuela?
- Do you think The Economist is making stuff up about Venezuela?
I know The Economist is making stuff up about Venezuela, just as the Grauniad and the Washington Post do. Since you do not know anything, you believe their channeling of State Department black propaganda.Do you deny there are massive shortages and people waiting in lines for hours?
There is certainly orchestrated hoarding of essential items in order to create a sense of crisis. The United States is using the same game plan it did in Chile in order to destabilize and eventually destroy that democratically elected government. Unfortunately for the extreme right in Venezuela, and for its U.S. funder, the people of Venezuela are well aware of what is happening. They overturned the U.S.-sponsored coup in 2002, so a bit of economic wrecking is not going to achieve very much. No one, other than fools like you, believes that Venezuela will capitulate.Your remaining question, as well as being grammatically a nonsense, provides further evidence that you do not know what you are talking about. I ask again: why are you here? Why are you not seriously reading?
