Rafael Ramírez, former ambassador of Venezuela to the United Nations (UN), said that the economic situation in the country at all levels is a chaos due to improvisation, ignorance, irresponsibility and inefficiency in handling complex issues such as inflation.

"The economic situation, both at the macro level, and at the level of the popular economy, everyday, from day to day, is at least a chaos. A disaster, product of much improvisation, ignorance, irresponsibility, inefficiency in the handling of such complex issues: inflation, currency devaluation, shortage of supplies, fall of oil production, fall of domestic production, all economic sectors paralyzed or semi-paralyzed , the institutions in charge of the chaotic economy, without fulfilling their tasks, "he said in an article published in Aporrea .

He stressed that the situation continues to worsen, and that it will not be solved by evading it. He also assured that the exchange system has been unsustainable since 2012, which has impoverished the country.

Ramírez said that there are people who can live without any limitations due to the exchange differential: "The profit is at least 99,990 bolivars for every dollar. It is a huge differential that allows us to buy dollars again and acquire all kinds of goods and develop activities that for the rest of the population are denied, "he explained.

Unfortunately, Ramirez believes the answer isn't an open and transparent government... he is a TRUE Chavista, and in TRUE Chavista logic, that entails bringing the business interests to heel! And to do that, Chavismo must go FORWARD towards total hegemonic domination! (Its just a matter of jailing the non-compliant and rooting out the corrupt... as if the $5000 bottles of wine he enjoyed while head of the PdVSA wasn't the problem!

1. Aporrea turns on Maduro! The "reddest of the red" are tired of the excuses for failure.

Maduro: what the hell are you doing as a government?
By: Javier Antonio Vivas Santana Thursday, 12/28/2017 8:01 AM

translated from Spanish

The recent declaration of the President of the Republic trying to respond to the angry people who have blocked streets and avenues in all the country for the unfulfilled promises of the government on the delivery of some "perniles" (hams), in the so-called "happy Christmas", could not be more pathetic, to say that they did not come by international "sabotage", which is why we must ask ourselves, whether so much sabotage is part of a truth that becomes reiterative, or excuses to continue denying the incapacity of a government.

And like the "perniles", in the face of constant electricity failures, also in any part of the country, whose interruptions of such an important service extend for long periods, including days and nights in 24 hours and more, we ask: Maduro, ¿What the fuck are you doing as a government? Nothing! Tell us that such "blackouts" are caused by saboteurs "robacables", who are concerned about dying electrocuted, or even simpler, find the "guilty iguana" used by the terrorists of the empire for those actions.

And before the shortage of gasoline, especially the 95 octane, anywhere in the country, as well as the null production of lubricants, we ask: Maduro, what the hell are you doing as a government? Nothing! Tell us that such a failure of supply is due to the "sabotage" of the stateless and imperialist right that smuggles our fuels, even if the workers themselves denounce the bankruptcy of the oil industry.

2. More dissent from Aporrea

Lets just cut to the juicy part!

...For a revolutionary like me it is not easy to say things are. I expose myself to qualify for this and that. But I have no other option left. Worse would be to shut up and turn a blind eye. We have peace, it is true, but that peace is fragile and can be broken from one moment to the next. In a blink of an eye. I'll tell a story. Recently a constituent named Keila De La Rosa said among other things, there was no need to play the game to the speculators. In other words, the ANC spokeswoman said, "they are fucking us, but we keep buying, buying and buying".

Geez, Keila De la Rosa, what do you want? Do you want us to die of hunger? Or that we walk down the street without shoes and naked? You pretend that sick people like me do not buy the medicines that the market offers us, however expensive they may be. They are scarce, very scarce, and also the few that get a black accounts with his cachimbo. That is, more expensive than a gold tooth today. I ask, Keila: what do you buy ...? That is, do not you eat? Do not you get sick? Do not travel to the interior of the country? Do not wear shoes? In what world do you live?...

Remember, this is a website devoted to Chavismo and the memory of Hugo Chavez. A hardcore, Chavismo version of DemocraticUnderground... a site where like-minded individuals can communicate. That this sort of dissent is now becoming the norm?
