    So when will they suspend Venezuela? Paraguay was suspended for a Constitutionally legal impeachment of Fernando Lugo that was not only accepted by the ex-President but 100% peaceful [0 people died in the protests that happened in the aftermath]. Moreover, Paraguay's military despite being provoked by Nicolas Maduro refused to intervene in the domestic politics of Paraguay, yet Paraguay was suspended from both Mercosur and Unasur. Where is justice in that? Same old corruption of old: Para mis amigos todo; para mis enemigos la ley.

    And MADuro didn't go to Chile because...?? There are several reasons listed in MDZol.com . One of them is that the new president of Chile isn't a “Bolivarian” socialist. I guess CFK is....interesting.

    The reason was perhaps the murder of a Chilean citizen in Venezuela that was gun shot in her eye defending her flat... The chileans demanded a explionation and Maduro declined

    A bunch of leftist corrupt politicians with a few others who don't have balls to make waves.
    I feel for the people of Venezuela with no one with guts willing to tell it how it is.

    Don't throw in the towel just yet.
    You lot can still create chaos... You know, burn containers, arrange “demonstrations”, pay bullies to bully.

    You know, as in continuing what your preffered class had been at the last ten years

    It's not working, is it?

    ;)

    “Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa said [...] it is very clear what is going on: “they are trying to destabilize a government legitimately elected and we won't let that happen”.”
    Won't let it happen?
    Baahahahahahaha! really? you? powerless fool!

    Also “a government legitimately elected”. Bullshit!
    Unproven. Maduro/AN did not permit a recount. Even though the result was split by 0.04% (ish!).
    Fact!

    Anyway, UNASUR was invented by Chavez, so they won't do/say too much or their hypocrisy will be obvious. Curently looking as though Maduro is too scared to attend even UNASUR let alone Chile!!

    So come on Stevie, prove that Maduro as legally elected by international standards.
    Equally;
    What prefered class?
    The lack of toilet paper and basic food-stuffs is a great leveller of humanity.
    The Bolivarian Revolution is clearly disfunctional. Unless you are the PDVSA President (nationalised 'independent' Oil Conglomerate/ Energy Minister/ Vice-Minister of the Economy, ( yess..! Rafael Darío Ramírez Carreño holds all 3 posts), with millions of USD in USA bank accounts (see my previous posts for proof).
    Whose 'prefered class' is that? The working class Venezuelans?
    haha! NOT! They have been bought off with gov. sponsered jobs (menial minimum wage), a few Petro-Casas (plastic houses).
    Now they are to scared of the 'colectivos' to speak up.

    prefered class? you talk out of your arse Stevie.

    Shut up until I choose to throw you another biscuit.
    Time to get real and face up to facts.
    Woof woof little K-Class doggy......

    Democratically chosen indeed.
    Told you lot Venezuela isn't Ukraina, where you can impose the western will regardless of the wish of the electorate.
    Tell me, what elected Ukranian President approved the negotiations with the EU?
    That's right, none.
    Still the “agreements”will be imposed on the country even before the March elections.

    That's your true form for democracy.

    But Venezuela is not Ukraina, and if the opposition wishes t get into power, they'll have to wait for next elections.

    Just as in every democracy.
