Venezuela crisis: Former UN rapporteur says US sanctions are killing citizens

[GatoGordo]

1. Alfred de Zayas is a Chavista lapdog

He's been accusing El Imperio of killing Venezuelans long before any sanctions* came along.

Also, de Zayas is a bit of a loon. He is the darling of the Holocaust deniers. Claims that Hitler was the aggrieved party in WW2, and not the Allies.

*Sanctions imposed until recently:

1. No refinancing PdVSA debt by US firms or individuals. Google "hunger bonds Goldman Sachs"
2. No dealing with approximately 40 Chavistas in Venezuela

None of these "sanctions" has kept Maduro from buying food, medicine, equipment or spare parts of any kind.

The disaster that is Venezuela is of the Chavistas own making. Unless the belief is that the recent US sanctions has made the Bolivar Soberano drop 99.99999979% over the last 20 years?
