Biden says Venezuela 'concocting' bogus stories

[delrem]

46. Let me count: 1.... Jorge Farias.

That's massive support from the poor for the fascists who want to dismantle the Bolivarian revolution, and oust the democratically elected gov't. The fascist jokers that you support.

"1) No mention that those extreme sections of the right-wing who have called these demonstrations in Venezuela our wanting to oust the elected, constitutional government in the coverage (or the map) despite being called 'la Salida' (meaning 'the ousting'). Furthermore, they have a history of anti-democratic actions aimed at destabilising and removing the elected government, most notably the temporarily successful coup against Hugo Chavez in 2002.
2) No mention of the deaths stemming from the extreme elements of the opposition's violence, now including a government supporter motorcyclist who was decapitated this weekend (see http://venezuelanalysis.com/news/10391 )
3) No mention of $5m US funding this year to these right-wing opposition groups, building on the $millions they have received over the lifetime of the Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro-led governments. "

"We deplore the wave of violence from minority and extremist sections of Venezuela's opposition, that left three dead, 60 injured and saw physical assaults on government institutions, including shots and Molotov cocktails attacks on the state TV channel and a state governor's residency (Jailed López tells his allies to keep fighting, 22 February). This followed a recently launched campaign by Venezuela's extreme right for La Salida (the ousting) of the government of President Maduro before his constitutional mandate ends in 2019. La Salida is led by extremist politicians Leopoldo López and María Corina Machado, who were both implicated in the 2002 coup in Venezuela. This is not the first time that the sections of the opposition have sought to oust the elected government by unconstitutional means, having lost at the ballot box.

We believe that while people in Venezuela have the right to protest – and that the Venezuelan constitution guarantees these and other democratic rights – this must be done peacefully. There is no justification for violent opposition to the elected government in Venezuela. We strongly support the statement of the Union of South American Nations that violence to seek to overthrow the elected, constitutional government is unacceptable. We join them in both condemning the wave of violence and in supporting calls for dialogue and peace.
