Holding off the Covenant on Reach?
Most indubiouslyAm I correct in understanding that opposition parties will not, by court mandate, be able to register to run in the upcoming election until after the election?
It stopped being "real socialism" a long time ago and its supporters abandoned ship like rats.Since this thread hasn’t been updated recently I am going to assume nothing significant has changed in regards to people and parties being effectively barred by the judiciary from participating in the election.
If that is the case, has anyone seen (or does anyone have) an argument in support of the ruling party/leaders actions in this matter? I’m interested to know if Venezuela’s rulers still have any international fans.
Hey if they stop having elections they'll save money. That's a big expenseMaduro is dumb enough to only have his name.
About 500 miles between Caracas and the nearest Brazilian city that has the infrastructure to (barely) take in all those people. Thousands of people walking and hitchhiking to get there, only to live in shelters that are hell holes. If they're lucky, most of them end up living on the street. And yet all of them say they're better off. Some really heartbreaking shit.
What's even more surprising is that the people fleeing the country are not dirt poor farmers or anything like that. They're middle class people with an education (journalists, accountants and what not) that were regularly employed and could certainly afford a reasonable lifestyle, except there was no food to be bought. So they still prefer becoming a shittier version of Syrian refugees (they don't get no cozy European welfare and housing) living as hobos. Better than starving.
All of this shit stopped being a political/economic crisis a long time ago. The very fabric of their society is collapsing.
I don't get the issue. Don't all venezuelans have drawers full of tasty empanadas?
