webfact Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Venezuela’s President Maduro threatens to increase emergency powersCARACAS: -- Tensions are mounting in Venezuela. The country’s president has threatened to increase his powers further by raising the current state of emergency. Pro and anti government supporters have taken to the streets.Meanwhile President Nicolas Maduro appeared on television to defended his actions.“The National Assembly wants to remove me and tie my hands, you know why? If they had my hands tied and I could declare a state of emergency then we wouldnt have been able to make any decisions.”Earlier anti-government protesters tried to reach the headquarters of the country’s electoral body to meet their demand for a referendum to recall unpopular Maduro.It’s the third demonstration this week. On Tuesday, opposition leader Henrique Capriles called on the country to reject Maduro’s extra powers. -- (c) Copyright Euronews 2016-05-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaidam Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Must have been imagining it, but I'm sure I recently read that Corbyn was praising Venezuela, in particular the quality public health service, and the country for offering a fantastic alternative to bankster led capitalism. Can we send him there to see for himself - one way ticket mind you, we don't want the socialists and commies back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him was old flame Diane Abbott and Owen Jones making up the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola the First is already trying to do the same for Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yahooka Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 This is now an classic example why extreme socialism and communism are guaranteed to fail.In the process of making the poor minority more well of,you are making everyone poor and your country collapses.Let`s hope that this is the final nail in the coffin called communism and that the goon Maduro and his croonies steps down before they ruin Venezuela beyond repair !!
