    Ah, yes, the sign of mature and responsible representatives. Absolutely pathetic.

    @2 Sorry? Isn't the whole of South America “western”? It's certainly west of the Prime Meridian. Even Nazi Germany, the role model for much of latin america, was “western”. Wasn't this a punch-up between two groups of latinos? One that didn't like the result and one that had “fixed” it. I thought you latinos were used to fixed election results. Why spend all that money buying votes if it doesn't “fix” the results? But I agree that Maduro's desperation is palpable. How could he lose if the little birdie (spirit of Chavez) said he would win? Taking on your comments on another article, might it be that you are biased? After all, from your various comments, you are notably pro-argie, pro-CFK, pro-Mujica wimp, pro-Chavez, pro-Iran, anti “north-western”, anti-free speech (unless it's yours), anti-real democracy, anti-intelligence, anti-“proper” education.

    This how the “democratic” socialist Gvts. act. We have had a domonstration here in Chile in the 70's which led us to an almost civil war avoided by the military (for our good luck they were constitutionalist ones so they returned us to the right way ...). Venezuelan people isn't lucky enough because their military is socialist declared.....
