Venezuela Maduro OAS: Latin American 'traitor' row escalates

The head of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, has accused the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro of being "a traitor".

In a series of Twitter posts addressed directly to Mr Maduro, Mr Almagro also called him a "petty dictator".

Mr Maduro accused the OAS chief earlier this week of being a CIA agent and a traitor himself.

The Venezuelan president has blamed his country's economic crisis on an axis of enemy forces co-ordinated from the US.

The Maduro--Chavez regime made its own mess. It ran its state-owned businesses incompetently, scared away its most competent personnel, hamstrung its private sector, and let inflation run riot.

Blaming US "imperialism" is the fall-back position of every other Third-World hack who runs his or her economy into the ground. Progressive's are WAY too credulous when it comes to believing such Bush-whah.
