Venezuelan government devalued its bolivar currency for the second time in 12 months on Thursday, abolishing the lowest exchange rate as the Opec member fights to revive its economy. Intended to spur local production in the largely import-dependent nation, the announcement followed a central bank estimate that the economy contracted 1.9 percent during 2010 - Venezuela's second straight year of recession.

    This is so funny, a communist playing “el patriota”. since when communists are patriots? haha Even funnier the fact that communists feel so related to Perón, when Perón was a fascist and a nazi. he was not a communist, he was not a socialist, he was a fascist and a nazi. Perón didn't like Bolivians, for example, Cristina loves Bolivians, that's not Peronist! Perón hated the bolivian people, he was a racist. He didn't like the Communists, I can't imagine Perón and Che Guevara doing things together, like sharing a tereré haha
    that left-wing president Perón never existed. But don't tell this to people, make them believe that Perón and Evita were God and Goddess of the poor people of Argentina haha

    Perón and the Nazis

    @8 Maybe it's because while fascists and nazis are not pro-capitalism, those behind the military coups were. Hey, but I know that you are one of those kirchnerists who think that Videla, for example, was a fascist, lol. They told you a different story about Perón and Evita and you liked it, but that's your fault, if you like fascists and nazis, go ahead and keep believing in fairytales :) Pigna will make you believe in anything :)

    That guy in the video is Perón, but you may like it or not :)
