It's because he's transitioned to personality cult mode. He can't say that because it gives off the impression he doesn't hold absolute power and that just isn't acceptable in a dictatorship.

Everywhere where there isn't any cameras or internet the GNB react like that. From the information I have, poo poo's really bad in the deeper parts of the country.

There really will be a nationwide transportation strike tomorrow but remember that the metro and all that poo poo is government owned and there's no way those workers are going on strike or they'll get fired.

Escape From Venezuela news: I managed to secure at least some form of monthly income, $500 a month from the company I'm currently working with, with the possibility of increasing to up to $1000 after September. That's barely enough to get by but it'll do for now, I can complement it with some freelance work.

I know someone who got offered $1500 a month by her current company here to work in the US and she refused, I mean gently caress $1500 isn't a whole lot but if you're being offered a legal chance to get out of this hellhole and you're going with a secure job loving take it.

1500 is tough but doable, if you have a roommate in an undesirable part of town, have some sort of shared car pool, and thrift shop. It is better than food riots at any rate.

Kurtofan posted:striking for what reasons? German Duarte, the head of the Federacion de Transporte de Venezuela has said that the reason for the strike is "the country is way messed up". This is what he told the media: quote:Victims [of crime?] as well as transport drivers have taken the decision to carry out a national stoppage. [It will happen in 18 states] and they all have orders to unite with the goal of having the country hear this plea from transport drivers in the country, [which mirrors] that of the Venezuelan people and the deep social, economic and political crisis.

Jorge Rodriguez and a couple of other PSUV people in the recall referendum committee filed their lawsuit at the Supreme Court earlier today asking to put an end to the referendum because they allege the MUD committed fraud as evidenced by the 605,000 signatures that the CNE invalidated. Rodriguez laid out the government's case:quote:This is a great fraud against the Constitution. It's unbelievable: 605,415 fraudulent and defective signatures. The MUD has altered the rights of Venezuelans. It violated the rights of millions of chavistas who support Maduro. Also, Venezuela filed its monthly report with OPEC, and the figures have now been released. According to Venezuela, it produced 120,000 fewer barrels of oil per day in April than it did in May. This downward trend has been in effect since 2014. The full report is here. The production numbers are on page 57.

Thankfully their lawsuit has no legal basis or even reality basis so the Supreme Court are obviously going to throw it out, oh wait.

The Supreme Court issued a ruling late this afternoon striking down the Ley Especial Para Atender la Crisis Nacional de Salud [Special Law to Address the National Health Crisis]. The law called on the national government to accept international medical aid, and set out some parameters for how that could actually happen (for example, by making it illegal to transport medical aid for the purposes of selling it for a profit). The TSJ ruled that the National Assembly had usurped powers reserved for the President of the Republic. If I'm understanding this correctly, the TSJ said that the National Assembly had no right to ask the national government to ask for medical aid, or even declare that there was a medical emergency in the country. drilldo squirt posted:I have to say, that's the nicest murdering club I've ever seen.

Of course, those looting this panaderia weren't exactly hungry, the hungry folk were those queuing up inside, the rest are opportunistic criminals. It helps to remember that Venezuela isn't a civilized country. We're far, far away from civilization.

poo poo's going down in Cumaná, capital of the Sucre state. The police have been overran and the National Guard are being dispatched. I'm seeing pictures of it and it really is a huge mob just looting every single store and warehouse. https://twitter.com/DNoticias24/status/742781783205351424

The US just wants their oil, which contrary to popular belief is the primary buyer of Venezuelan crude. They know that an unstable Venezuela won't be able to commit to it's commercial agreements, and they know Venezuela under Maduro will head towards a total collapse, it's as simple as that. I don't think they even care who's running the country, from the leaked CIA reports and diplomatic cables on Wikileaks you can tell that the US government doesn't hold the opposition in high regard either.

Nobody wants Maduro, everyone would be perfectly happy with just having another president, but the core of PSUV is afraid (and rightfully so, the polls back that notion) that if Maduro is removed, they will lose their grasp over the country, and with it, their legal immunity. They know very well that the second they're out of power somebody will be out for their heads.

Engaging with Venezuela at a foreign policy level must be a bit like trying to talk an insane person out of dropping a knife. I mean, this was Foreign Affairs Ministry Delcy Rodriguez as the OAS General Assembly just a few hours before she met with Kerry:quote:I have irrefutable evidence that the secretary general of the OAS has an interventionist approach to the internal affairs of Venezuela [because] he is under orders from Washington [D.C], serving as an agent of Washington. [Almagro laughs] I know that this makes you laugh, Almagro, but it’s the truth. You are on assignment from Washington to intervene with Venezuela’s internal affairs. The unrest in Cumana was pretty intense. Jose Guerra is a National Assembly deputy, and he ays that at least three people died there today. Here are a couple of videos of looting in the city today: https://twitter.com/JoseAGuerra/status/742787361545834498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/AndrewsAbreu/status/742804599170605059?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw And some pictures:  This is what was left of a pharmacy:   Looters also hit a mall. Here's an eyeglass store:  There was also an attempted looting attempt in La Vega, Caracas. Looters there tried to get into a local mall, but I'm not sure that they succeeded. Also, in Catia (which is also in Caracas), protesters blocked a road that runs just outside the Gato Negro subway station:   The protesters in Catia were chanting "Queremos comida! Queremos comida!" [We want food! We want food!]: https://twitter.com/CaraotaDigital/status/742842445654822912 Finally, here's a video of a confrontation between residents and National Guard soldiers in Puerto Ordaz, Bolivar state. I'm not sure what the confrontation was about, but towards the end you can see a National Guard soldier hitting someone with his helmet and then shoving a woman pretty violently: https://twitter.com/epascuense/status/742798825300066305

It's going to be hilarious when the Maduro shills left become the left-wing version of the media hyping up RIOTERS AND LOOTERS every time Black Lives Matter or other social justice protesters do a thing. And by hilarious, I mean "absolutely goddamn infuriating and I'm gonna wanna smash their heads open with a brick".

It's amazing how fast this country has deteriorated, it really doesn't matter if there's a referendum or not because the people are going to storm Miraflores and murder Maduro if he's still there by December.
