    Seems Argentina as popular as it makes out,

    but what if this spills over into violence,

    who will support Argentina and who will support Venezuela

    The Kirchners borrowed a lot of money from Venezuela. I think some of the loans were at about 15%. And let us not forget those bags of money that Chávez provided for CFK's election funds.

    Clearly, it is all orchestrated. He is trying to incite violence against the Argentine Embassy if he doesn't get a face-saving apology and admittance to Mercosur.

    I don't think it is an act of cowardice when a bully tries to gatecrash your party and you kick him out.

    Venezuela needs to distract its people. Perhaps Maduro could invade the Falklands.

    “ if he had any dignity left he should pack his suitcase and leave Venezuela”...its obvious that they don't even know the meaning of dignity. Crazy Delcy never ever shuts up...and did you notice that weird smile when she is talking? Comes and goes. I think there is something seriously wrong with the bitch.

    NOT ONLY IN VENEZUELA.
    Although Macri and his followers don't accept it, Venezuela isn't the only one southamerican nation with politic prisoners.
    All the international organizations of human rights (U. N., A.S.O., and the H.R.I.C. ) claim that Leopoldo Lopez in Venezuela and Milagro Sala in Argentina are politic prisoners.
    Beyond the dirty strategy that the president and his pathetic politic allies implement, with the purpose of confusing our society, the truth is that Argentina signed international pacts of human rights, which must be respected, even if Milagro Sala was guilty of absolutely all the accusations against her, the human rights organizations say that her detention was arbitrary, because the country didn't respect the pacts it signed, for this reason, they affirm that she must wait for her trial in freedom. For all these facts, i have started thinking that perhaps the worst side of Macri's government isn't his economic policy, which is provoking hard damages of many sectors of our society, maybe the worst of his administration is the low democratic quality that we are living since one year ago. Since 1979 during the dictatorship, the I.C.H.R. didn't say that in Argentina there are politic prisoners.
    Now i seriously wonder, what kind of moral authority can we have at the moment as a nation, to criticise the rejection of the U. K. to resume the negotiations with Argentina, for the sovereignty of the Malvinas islands, if nowadays it is our country the one that isn't respecting a resolution from an institution that belongs to the U. N.
    In the case of Venezuela, although i agree on the critics against the authoritarism of Maduro's government, we would be too ingenous if we thought that the so called opposition are a true democratic option, in fact, the most important leaders of the alliance had an active participation in the coup d'etat against Chaves in 2002, and in the violent marches of 2014.

    “I don't get the joke!”

    Baffled Venezuelan poor are the ones to suffer under Maduro's insane currency “reform”
