Your politicians wanted to impose their dictature on venezuela because it has oil and President Chavez did not let them... After all it was his country and on one has the right to dictate what he could or could not do with his oil !

So long President Chavez !

    Apparently, all of that sorrow was staged by the Venezuelan government like they do in North Korea, according to the good people of newsvine. The good people of newsvine who have probably never been to Venezuela, don't know anyone who is Venezuelan but like to rant about things they know nothing about.
