A quarter of its manufacturing. A 1000000 people emigrated and public debt kept rising. In 2015 a government claiming to be a left wing promise to force it into. However its agreed measures that tie the country up until 2060 and started mass privatisation of. Voters on the lift became depressed because it had succeeded with what the right hadnt. The right was depressed because they knew theyd lost there is on difference. In this country of mass depression however there was one word that awakens the political fervor of the. Venezuela. Thats. Put us. Off this important because we see. It is going up and up and would send them off the busy. On another human as well again not good no not though. When a european country went through a crisis why were its politicians worried about toilet paper in latin america. I flew to caracas to find out. During the 11 hour flight i read all sorts of articles warning me that caracas is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. If i wasnt murdered as soon as i got off the plane id be kidnapped or mugged or die of hunger or disease. Will rot in prison. Venezuelas capital is indeed amongst the most dangerous cities but so are dozens of cities in mexico brazil local lumpia. However the people there do have fun like we do they exercise much like us. Children eat ice cream and some women carry refrigerators for some reason. Surprisingly nobody tried to kill kidnap or imprison me when i arrived. During those 1st few hours i sold venezuela had fallen victim to the biggest propaganda plot of the 21st century. And money is only becoming out because i wanted to see life in the barrios the slums of caracas gatecrash rich winnings i have a good piano and i wanted to be to young people assists and workers see what they do for fun. What they eat how they vote what newspapers they read their favorite hobbies. Until we got hit by a taxi and we were left in the middle of the street. The police who we hadnt called arrived within minutes. The ambulance that we did call never appeared. So i went off to explore all venezuelas Public Health care system. And found a doctor right away and most of the Public Hospitals i visited were more than decent. In some clinics medical care was offered for free by cuban doctors who were considered some of the best in latin america. However most hospitals lacked one essential element. Patients. As to what medicines theres no point in going. Spare parts for the x. Ray machines were missing to. Find those i had to go to a private hospital. And i stumbled on the 1st proof that socialism had failed in venezuela. As one of venezuelas most eminent economists shes never hidden her support for the bolivarian revolution of chavez. Maybe. There is no humanitarian crisis in venezuela looming humanitarian crisis. Is the. Crisis. And crisis. Crises the countrys economic crisis has turned into a humanitarian one. Everyone said venezuela was going through a humanitarian crisis. Prove it they went to geneva to be truly un independent experts. Just returned from caracas. People also seems to have a problem with the humanitarian crisis. That is a term of art. Said. You used the term humanitarian crisis. A pretext to. Humanitarian intervention. This was the argument made in libya when you wanted to have humanitarian intervention in libya. And at the same time regime change and overthrow the american military. With food for everybody is that is correct but the humanitarian aid would have to be secured by guys with guns. There are certain items that are missing why because production. Trade distribution is entirely in private hands it is not government direct so if you have a considerable portion of the. Wealth. In this position. That does not want to cooperate with the government you are going to have a scar city and youre going to have delays in distribution that cetera et cetera so i. See. The money. On the side of the. Mill and. According to the central bank of venezuela products were missing before the constitutional referendum and Regional Elections of 2007. Before the president ial election of 2012 and off to chavezs death that again led to elections. American sanctions will soon be added to this artificial scarcity making the situation even worse. Brought director of the c. P. R. In washington followed. All Economic Development he believes that americas sanctions are killing people in venezuela. When obama 1st imposed these sanctions on individuals because they violate this woman in International Conventions he had to declare that venezuela poses an extraordinary and unusual threat to the security of the United States which is of course ridiculous and so this is a very aggressive thing to trumpet taking a big step further and really did make it nearly impossible for the venezuelan economy recover temperamental that it will kill for that ca to know he needs them from being a woman to have some math if you see a. B. And he says yeah look im with me coming behind me but i limp out of the book at all it all the facets see on the stingiest had their way they claimed. It to be less from 2nd life and i said in that message that in super meant to conduct album. Theyre not interested in knowing why there is problems with distribution why there are certain medicines are not available they dont tell you for instance that although venezuela has the money to buy medicines and tries to buy these medicines often enough the countries either refuse to deal with venezuela or do not deliver. We had in the month of november the crisis. In the province. And. They couldnt get the malaria medicine from colombia they had to fly it in from india. So matter of fact. Venezuela has been flying in from god knows how many countries to india and china etc there is a problem of course the deal insulin but that is because of the boycott i mean put the blame where the blame belongs and. How can we condemn. The government of venezuela. When we ourselves are causing this car city. Was. I. Think you should be. Yes lets. Look at the. 10 years since crosstown started 10 years i think its time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what ive been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 expert fighter. Do you think ok a more affordable option 25 picks for. One red rose another suggestion. No political will we will literally. Be elites. Late night show its a. There format these days and its chief all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner. But actually i guess i can do this candle after politics gone wild like music. Ok crosstalk is not about hype its about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. Peter if you want to change something why dont we get rid of the bow tie no that is too much. Private donors Holding Products in times of political unrest american sanctions the queues for foods and medicines. This ive seen before. In november 970 socialist Salvador Allende became chiles president. The historic day for latin america. For the white house it was a mistake by the American Ambassador in santiago edward gorey. He was going to. Let me just say i. Mean. Im going to. Die and he was elected i said that it was a grave and very serious. Defeat for the United States we knew that although i would act in what appeared to be a legal and constitutional manner it would be designed as a class warfare to eliminate the middle class opposition the bourgeois it would be a class war approach. Top secret sensitive eyes only. Nixon already in september called in Henry Kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated that in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream. Nixon gives orders that they make the chilean economy scream and cia director Richard Helms writes it down. It will be hinted at. In order to the dam will last through no more but a small but at the moment this in indonesia has to see to him to know its the end all be any good seeing him bad well planned on upset about. This with the center so no mass and incomplete. Simply. Better looking at more of. The. Back of. Some things by any goal. But i guess ive. Got to. Go. In venezuelas case the media attacks will be based on a well used recipe. Everyone has to be convinced that. A dictator is even when they held elections. In the 2 decades of the revolution. At least 25 elections were held and accredited by independent experts like the carter center. Over 92 elections men are monitored i would say that the election process in voters where is the best in the world. Where all the electoral process is legal and democratic. And 2015 party loses the parliamentary election and the right wing opposition wins in the National Assembly. Believe the country is paralyzed as m. P. s hinder legislative work and rejects Supremes Court rulings. Responds with a football dribble will lose. Its. Instead of waiting for the hand of god as his friend would advise changes field in the middle of the game. Of the holds a referendum on the formation of a Constitutional Assembly that would remove the powers of the National Assembly controlled by his opponents find. A constitutional move absolutely. The opposition had twice considered using the same procedure to remove chavez from office in 2007. In 2016. 0 before the gun bill. Was a decision ethical. I may not be qualified to say. In my country as well as in italy the banker was appointed prime minister. And a referendum was ignored. In europe we cancelled a total of 5 referendums because the citizens hadnt voted as the e. U. Wanted them to. Was those decisions constitutional maybe they were but they also ethical and democratic. In venezuela after the 2015 crisis the part of the right wing opposition started boycotting elections. Last the un not to send experts who could determine whether fraud had been attempted. Democracy in venezuela goes into turmoil this is the government solely responsible always it also the ghost of the 2002 coup. Several coup instigators will never go to prison and will form the hard core of the right wing opposition. Its interesting that. Many of the opposition politicians today in venezuela were involved in some way or another in the coup detat of april. 2002. Some of those politicians will continue to receive funding from american organizations like the ne d. Ends of Congress Dole is to venezuela. When the political crisis hit the streets many politicians exploited public frustration and transformed caracas into a battlefield. Thoughts of the opposition resorted to extreme violence. He had to get off you had a bad mistake mechanism responded cruelly and indiscriminately dozens were killed on both sides and many ended up in prison. When independent un experts alfred desireless visited caracas. He persuaded the government to release 80 prisoners are. Just back he insists though that some should be in prison and should be considered Political Prisoners. On the subject of Political Prisoners he said we should look at europe as well. They are 4 persons. Politicians who are. Now these 4. Politicians are clearly Political Prisoners. Whereas in venezuela many of the detainees were detained because acts of violence. They were. Detained because they were just expressing their. Desire to be independent. To be sure that theyre all Political Prisoners in spain i went to barcelona to visit a fellow journalist. Public t. V. Carlist but outs. He explained that even if the Political Prisoners he couldnt say so. At least not on a. Big. And he called. Who said what kinds of words we can use when we speak about people that are in prison. Just said we cannot use. The terms Political Prisoners for example. Because i honestly couldnt believe that in a european country a judge could decide what words a journalist could use. I stayed to watch the broadcast and i heard a breaking story. But im not going to. Come out of a lot. N. C. State. As joe di sanchez was not allowed to speak to journalists i left the studio and went to meet his wife. I made a list of 21 is what. Im 15 and im in the theater kay and youre not from christmas because. He. Joined me every thursday on the all excitement and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sport this list im showbusiness ill see you that. Politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury. Or somehow want to be. That youd like to be crossed its like the full story of the boy cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of our. Friendship. But if she won you know i do the dishes at the bottom or those jeans near the speech and she me we have the truth she. Doesnt know about that and when you guys e. T. S.
