Thirteen years from the death of #FranklinBrito, the first martyr for private property in the history of #Venezuela.
#Chávez stole his property, and Franklin fought to the death to get it back, because it was his land, and the product of his hard work.
We do not forget.
Se cumplen trece años de la muerte de Franklin Brito, el primer mártir por la propiedad privada en la historia de Venezuela.
Hugo Chávez le robó sus propiedades, y Franklin luchó hasta morir por recuperarlas, porque eran suyas, producto de su esfuerzo.
No olvidamos.
Reuters- Oil major Exxon Mobil <XOM.N> and 19 other creditors owed collectively some $10 bln by Venezuela on Monday registered their claims in a US court that will soon kick off an auction of shares in one of the parents of Houston-based refiner Citgo Petroleum. Link to follow
Attacks on Venezuelan politicians that don’t belong to the ruling Maduro regime continue to be attacked by Regime backed gangs. These are attacks on the rights of the politicians and their followers to organise and assembly.
Desde hace unas horas grupos violentos en el estado Apure agredieron a nuestros militantes y a las personas que nos esperaban en donde teníamos prevista una asamblea.
Intentamos reprogramar la actividad y volvieron a llevar los grupos de motorizados a seguir imponiendo la violencia.
Maduro ¿quiénes son los violentos? ¿Quiénes son los responsables de las personas agredidas hoy?
De este lado, jamás usaremos la violencia ni la confrontación entre venezolanos. ¡Los venezolanos están cansados de estas imágenes!
#Maduro says govt carries out “Operation Autana” to fight illegal mining in Alto #Orinoco, but a quick look shows #mining is growing out of control in protected areas,even near a Nat’l Guard command: “This much-vaunted Operation is fake”, says @SOSOrinoco

According to poll by #Latinobarometro, #Venezuelans are the Latinamericans who have the best general opinion of the United States. And the pollmdid not include the 7 million who had to flee the country...
After #Villavicencio assassination in #Ecuador I’m freshly concerned about the safety of MCM in #Venezuela. RT to demand that her safety be guaranteed by the Maduro regime…
1 US dollar when Chavez won the elections in 1998, was worth Bs.565. That same dollar as of 08/03/2023, is worth Bs.30.1
BUT after adding the 14 ZEROES that were removed for cosmetic reasons, the figure today is Bs.3,100,000,000,000,000 at the Official Exchange rate
“barbaric”.
Un dólar en 1998, cuando Chavez gana las elecciones, valía Bs.565. Y ese mismo dólar al día 03/08/2023, Bs.30,1 después de agregarle los 14 CEROS que le quitaron por MAQUILLAJE, esa cifra equivale hoy a Bs.3.100.000.000.000.000 al Cambio Oficial.
"Que bárbaro".
Venezuela before Socialism:
Mercedes Benz manufacturing in Barcelona, Venezuela circa 1970.
The factory was the only one outside of Germany at the time.
33 gay men now waiting trial.
It is important to note that images of the arrest, exposing the faces of the detainees publicly, as well as their identity documents, were broadcast in various media outlets in the country, exposing them to public shaming.
In #Venezuela , 33 men #LGBTI have been arrested for having a party
The police raided the private premises to make the arrests.
The crime: their sexual orientation. In #Venezuela the #LGBTI collective doesn’t have the same rights.
Relatives denounce sexual discrimination.
En #Venezuela, 33 hombres #LGBTI son detenidos por hacer una fiesta
La policía acudió al local privado para realizar las detenciones
El delito: su orientación sexual. En el país, el colectivo carece de derechos.
Familiares denuncian discriminación sexual. /lvs

In #Venezuela, #pensions are still anchored to a miserable #minimumwage:
130 Bs. = $4.48 per month.
Pensioners are condemned to extreme poverty, (as classified by the World Bank: $64.5 per month.)
What can they do with what they receive?
A monthly pension of $4.48 is a crime.
En Venezuela las pensiones siguen ancladas a un salario mínimo de hambre: 130 Bs. = $ 4.48 mensuales.
Los pensionados siguen condenados a la pobreza extrema que dicta el Banco Mundial: $ 64.5 mensuales.
¿Qué pueden hacer con lo que reciben?
$ 4.48 de pensión es vergonzoso.

A dollar in 1998, when #Chavez won the elections, was worth Bs.565
That same dollar today, equals Bs.29.08. But wait: after adding the 14 ZEROs that were removed for cosmetic purposes, that figure really equals Bs.2,908,000,000,000,000 at the Official rate.
"Awesome".

"Impresionante".
Venezuelans spend on average FIVE TIMES THE OFFICIAL MINIMUM WAGE in order just to have safe #water at home. Calls to allow the private sector are dismissed by the dictatorial regime.
