Venezuela Opposition to Maduro calls on Mexico & International Community

Opposition calls on Mexico and the international community to show solidarity with the economic and political crisis facing the country

International - Thursday, May 30, 2013 15:38



...

In the framework of a meeting of members of the National Assembly of Venezuela with the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Mexican Senate, opposition and independent lawmakers, they exposed Mexican senators to the situation in Venezuela.

...

At the invitation of the Foreign Relations Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean, chaired by Senator Mariana Gomez del Campo, Opposition deputies Julio Cesar Montoya and Miguel Angel Rodriguez Vega announced that they will go to international bodies to challenge the results of the April's Venezuelan presidential election.

They noted that in the 14 years the government of Hugo Chavez, Venezuela suffered economic and social decline creating shortages of commodities, so this week Venezuela's National Assembly approved a loan to import toilet paper, soap and toothpaste before a shortage (occurs).

In that sense, the deputy Julio Cesar Montoya said that "if a country has to approve a loan to buy commodities for domestic shortage means that this face of serious problems, since ended its operations, employment and the progress in Venezuela ".

In turn, the deputy Miguel Angel Rodriguez, said the opposition does not want a repeat of the "Caracazo" over the serious deterioration of purchasing power and the shortage of commodities, so they are calling on the international community to show their understanding and solidarity to avoid a major crisis.

Funny that in Venezuela, their voting machines actually print you out a receipt, which you double check to make sure its accurate, and then sign off on. Their voting system is cleaner than ours. Capriles STILL hasn't provided any evidence, and never will because he can't. Typical Republican.

The CIA and their fixation with South American oil, bananas, or something else the oligarchs want.
