President Nicolás Maduro called Venezuelan youths who have emigrated from the country "beggars."



The statements were made this Tuesday night during an event of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

"There are hundreds who left with the false offer of the right, who were going to enjoy the honeys of other countries, and ended up washing pocetas, like slaves and beggars," the president said.

So cleaning toilets is beneath a Chavista? My mother (a maid) cleaned toilets. I cleaned toilets during college (work study). I clean my toilets now. But Maduro seems to think that people earning an income cleaning bathrooms is far worse than staying in Venezuela and starving to death. Another win for Bolivarian Socialism!
