It's pure crap, being wildly spun for maximum effect as they hope to mislead people who don't take the time to listen more carefully or care enough to try to find the correct interpretation.
My google translation says Maduro said "This was denounced to the world, heirs of Hitler Venezuela campaign directed against the people of Cuba like the campaign that justified the Holocaust against the honorable Jewish people."
The conspicuous right-wingers (whom many have always seen as fascists, of COURSE) are trying to spin this, making a lot of smoke and odors, hoping if they make enough noise they can get some traction with it. That's just not going to happen.
Maduro didn't say that. You know it, we all know it, and it is comical that anyone is trying to work it that way. Right-wingers are the violent fools, every one knows it.
Capriles has stated, loudly, he intends to destroy the oil price subsidies for Cuba's 11,000,000 people, which have been in place after Chavez was inaugurated. Oil price subsidies for various countries is a practice which has been in place in Venezuela for YEARS before Hugo Chavez ever was elected, so the subsidies themselves are NOT unacceptable to the Venezuelan fascists, and they are willing to make the 11,000,000 Cubans endure more hardship just because they can do it if they can grab the Presidency.
They also will succeed in removing all the Cuban doctors and other personel who have been running the clinics, the missions, and teaching young Venezuelan medical students and technicians, so they can bring desperately needed medical help to the poor who have been unable to get medical treatment all the years before Chavez. We damned well know that, too.
For anyone to try to lie this much about things only shows there are some very unethical, des;picable people who would do anything to bring more hardship to those whose lives already have been far harder than they themselves could ever survive.
It's about time you hogs people butted out of the progress which is needed for the world to get better after you damned well nearly destroyed it.
