The eating dogs is a lie. Undernourishment if it meant, stopping with the soda and cola drinking, high sugar beverages and products. Fat, fried stuff etc… but yeah things are getting harder by the day. Maybe soon we won't be eating three meals because everything is too expensive. Now we see all the products in the shelves at the supermarkets but we don't have money to buy much.
Did you all hear about the elections in Venezuela today

paris commune ironically enough ended parisian working class radicalism once and for all after they had led the way in 1790s, 1815, 1830, 1833, 1848, late 1860s

I don't understand why the government doesn't let the exchange rate float.
Brody Murphy
why is this guy banned?
i constantly get shit for defending venezuela on this board and i don't see anything wrong in that post
Blake Sanders
Because the state may run out of international reserves to fund social programs or maintaining itself.
The exchange rate may drop for a while, in the meantime capitalists and regular people will change all bolivars to dollars and take them to foreign bank accounts outside Venezuela, which eventually will cause the exchange to get incredibly high again,

From the sound of it the government is just fundamentally too weak. This buying and reselling should be a capital crime.
Alexander Lopez
Probably because of this comment right here
This is complete false. In fact there has been 4 elections in the past nine months where the opposition could capitalize a win, coming from their big win in 2016, national assembly elections. But because of their incompetence, the conflict of interest they hold within, the U.S. agenda for them, the lack of proposals for the people (Blatant neoliberalism and anti-communist rethoric) and their refusal to participate in elections they have lost each and everyone of them.
The elections for the national assembly were in december of 2016. The national assembly lost all its powers and relevancy, by a judgement emitted by the Supreme Justice Court because of two things:
1. Three recently elected members of the new assembly were having objections in their award by other parties involved in the election process. There were evidence of irregularities in the voting process, not in the system per se or machines, but in the way people were being paid to vote for certain candidates and the secrecy of the vote was at fault.
The Supreme Justice Court demanded that the president of the new National Assembly removed from office those three members, the president of the national assembly refused and disobeyed a direct order from the Supreme Justice Court. In our constitution when stuff like that happens the Supreme Justice Court disables the National Assembly and takes some of its functions while the problem it's solved. A childish move by the opposition.
2. The new National Assembly or the opposition's national assembly, started to pass unconstitutional laws and started to dissolve some of the social advances in land laws, oil laws, corporate laws etc. blatantly against our constitution.
Maduro used a tool in the constitution to raise things to a higher instance, by calling a National Constituent Assembly. Completely valid.
