Venezuela said it had freed most of the 243 youth activists arrested in raids last week on street camps set up to protest against President Nicolas Maduro's government. Although the demolition of four camps in Caracas was hoped would discourage the three-month protest movement, activists vowed the measure had only strengthened their resolve to demonstrate.

    The south american dream, just makes you want to get on a plane. I wonder how long it will be before his military turn on him. I bet there is a a helicopter fuelled and ready and on permanent standby for Cuba with lots of embezzled cash.
    Isn't that the bolivarian presidential retirement plan?

    Why doesn't someone shoot Maduro through the head and make his dreams come true. Forever to be known as Maduro the Martyr. Or, alternatively, Maduro the Moron!

    Its clear that its not going to stop at any time soon.

    What the scumbag of Europe Stevie failed to understand is that for the activists and students its a simple choice, or they keep on protesting and demanding to be heard or they accept Castro Communist dictatorship for the rest of their lives.

    Well, Stevie thinks communism is a really great socio-political advancement.

    That's why he can't live anywhere else but in Denmark. Denmark is communist, right?

    I think communism is a great way to live too, I just don't want to live in any of those countries.

    And those people that are protesting, well, they are just rich, which is bad, so they don't have any rights.

    Those protesters in Venezuela should just realize that communism is good, and live with it.

    Like Stevie does. In Denmark.

    @8 Keith York

    Have a biscuit. They've got chocolate on.

    I, for one, feel the need to point out that I have never tried to disrupt any 'conversions'.

    May your God go with you, brother.
    Blessed are the cheesemakers!

    Currently in Venezuela there are serious problems with both the electricity and water supplies.

    It is getting worse and worse. The government is corrupt and failing to protect the people. The hospitals are out of medicines and shops are STILL out of shower gel and toilet paper.

    This is a real tragedy for an oil rich and vast country.

    Maduro and the Boli-bourguosie must go now in order to save the nation from civil war.
