mitigate these 'crime rates'? Apparently they have added to the murders and I sincerely hope they are arrested and tried for those violent crimes.
We in this country should only have a government like Venezuela's. You want to talk about crime? How about 44, 000 Americans being allowed to die by their own government for lack of healthcare? How about elections with no way to check whether or not the votes have been tampered with?
How about War Criminals responsible for REAL violent crime, such as the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, allowed to go free without even a suggestion of a prosecution?
How about torturers being protected from prosecution and the victims denied any justice in this country?
How about crooked banks who destroyed the loves of millions of people around the world not only NOT being prosecuted, but rewarded with Corporate Welfare while their victims are left to fend for themselves?
Venezuela looks like a paradise of democracy to many people, especially out-of-work young people from countries like Spain whose economy too was destroyed by Wall St. criminals, now emigrating to Venezuela to find a better way of life?
Show me a perfect country since you are so critical of a country, who despite the never-ending efforts to destroy its road to democracy, including a US backed coup of a Democratically elected president, has done nothing but make progress after decades of a majority of its people being denied basic rights to earn a living, to benefit from its own resources and to conduct some of the most transparent and fair elections in the world??
The focus alone on this oil-producing country tells the story of the far right who ignore the atrocities in countries now backed by the US, such as Honduras eg. Got anything to say about that travesty created with our help where people are murdered on a regular basis for political reasons?
The only people murdered for similar reasons in Venezuela in recent times were murdered by the so-called 'opposition' better referred to as the same old right wing puppets of Western Global Corps.
