Political tensions over Venezuela’s disputed presidential election boiled over Tuesday in the National Assembly as government and opposition lawmakers said they physically clashed. Read full article
@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.....
