More "They're all out to get me" paranoia from Dim Successor. Pretty soon the list of countries responsible for the economic downturn in Venezuela will read like the roster of members of the United Nations.

1. Your characterization of this is BS.

He's pissed at the conservative Spanish parliament for passing a resolution condemning alleged Venezuelan human rights abuses.

He didn't say anything about the Venezuelan economy. He did accuse the Spanish elite of being corrupt.

About normal for DU's McCarthyite Brigade.

2. Spain has turned repressive against its own citizens as well

12 April 2015

Late last year the Spanish government passed a law that set extreme fines for protesters convening outside of government buildings.

In response to the controversial Citizen Safety Law, which will take effect on July 1, Spanish activists have staged the world's first ever virtual political demonstration.

After months of massive flesh-and-blood protests against the so-called 'gag law', thousands of holograms last night marched in front of the Spanish parliament in Madrid.

Organised by the group Holograms for Freedom, ghost-like figures holding placards took aim at the imminent draconian measures, arguing that holographic people are now afforded greater freedoms than their real-life counterparts.

3. I Have to Agree

Under Chavez, government and business were more evenly balanced and using oil money to reduce poverty. Maduro is apparently just spraying oil money around and punishing business and the rich. With Venezuela's oil riches, their troubles should be an embarrassment.
