No, it's those damned RW'ers who forced Chavez to install price controls which have fouled up the economy and created shortages in items in which Venezuela had previously been self-sufficient. And it's clearly the fault of the oil cartels who have caused widespread shortages of electricity, not the lack of planning and/or providing sufficient resources to the electric sector to address these problems, expropriating the one electric utility in Vz. that was being run efficiently and effectively.
Yes, I can now see how announcing this 'in advance' announcement makes "them" the 'number one suspects'. I'm sure it will be of great comfort to the populace which patiently suffers shortages of basic supplies and numerous electric blackouts to know it's the fault of the 'usual right wing suspects'.
