TODAY VENEZUELA – Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said on Thursday that he would ask his US counterpart Barack Obama to hand over some fugitives of the Venezuelan justice who are allegedly heading a “conspiracy hub” against the Venezuelan economy.
Maduro asserted that in the upcoming Summit of the Americas in Panama, he would also demand President Barack Obama to repeal the executive order imposing sanctions on seven Venezuelan officials fingered for human right abuses and declaring Venezuela’s situation a threat to US security, DPA reported.
The Venezuelan president added that such fugitives are undermining the Venezuelan economy by hosting a website called “Dólar Today,” which posts the price of US dollars in the parallel market in Venezuela, at prices way above the official foreign exchange rates.
“I hope the United States government captures those fugitives and hands them over to me sooner than later,” Maduro highlighted.
I guess when you are bankrupt of ideas, the go to strategy is to blame someone else. If the dollar wasn’t worth 220 to the bolivar then it wouldn’t trade there. I bet if you run into the bank in Venezuela with your handful of bolivar and attempt to change them into dollars at 6 to 1, you end up in jail as attempting to overthrow the government. This is a beyond corrupt government that has stolen all the money and violates human rights at will. Keep the heat turned up! What the people need is truly free and fair elections and a government that works for the people not the other way around.
