According to one of the observers who went to Venezuela, they have been notified by the CNE that if they step into a voting circuit they will be commiting a "serious misconduct"

punk rebel ecks posted:While I am all for having more people vote (I'm a fan of mandatory voting ala Australia and Brazil), what could the PSUV possibly gain from having centers open? There is already record turnout. Well, according on the article I posted last night there's no way to prevent a single person voting over a hundred times, so they might have a guy voting for hours while people stand in line without ever going in.

CalmDownMate posted:It strikes me as strange that Venezuela doesn't have oil refineries seeing as both Ecuador and Colombia do. Hell, we (Uruguay) have one and we don't even have oil. What could a new government do about the money Chavez and Maduro have squandered to buy support in the rest of South America? The only guy I've heard mention it was Capriles. There's lots of people nervous around here about not being able to sell you "books" at $1K a pop anymore, though.

I mean this http://www.noticias24.com/actualidad/noticia/79592/investigan-extrana-exportacion-de-libros-desde-uruguay-a-venezuela/ That's just the first link I found. I'm on my phone. They were actually books but massively overpriced. There was similar things with prefab houses and the presidents son starting a software company, selling at least 10 million dollars in software to your government and closing down the company in just a month.

I know but we are an insignificantly small country and even then we got hundreds of millions from Venezuela. I can't even imagine how much did the bigger countries get in exchange for their support.

surrender posted:This is probably a dumb question, but what are the possibilities for emigration to somewhere else in South (or Central) America? My cousin moved from Caracas to Bogota a couple of years back, but his wife already had Colombian citizenship through one of her parents. Most people who can get to Uruguay can get an ID and papers pretty fast. The bad part is that you would be in Uruguay. There are a lot of Venezuelans here lately though, so some people might be able to make this shithole work for them. edit: what Hefe said

Chuck Boone posted:I went to a talk by a professor from a Trinidadian university who does research on crime surveys and public perceptions of crime. After his talk I chatted with him for a bit, and he told me that Venezuela comes up in the news there sometimes because it's seen as a drug export hub. He told me that the authorities in Trinidad trace both drugs and weapons to Venezuela, so the proximity to the country is causing some problems for Trinidad, apparently. Like fnox said, though, the fact that they speak English there makes Trinidad much more foreign and feel much further away than it actually is. Uruguay said no such thing. We are the only country in MERCOSUR defending Venezuela, Frente Amplio's gotta pay back all the money they took from Venezuela during the past decade.

Sinteres posted:I think the overly cautious opposition is part of why other countries don't give a poo poo. As long as they're still pretending they're operating in a democracy, what are other countries supposed to do? If the opposition forced a confrontation and the military actually moved against the people in the real way though, I don't think the US would be able to (or want to) ignore what's going on in its back yard anymore. Actually it's because most neighboring countries have been bought by Venezuela. Look at Uruguay, Mujica's party has been pressuring his coalition to block an investigation on the dealings between Venezuela and Uruguay because they used a private company they own as an intermediary and they took around 5% of all business with Venezuela for absolutely no reason. They are also putting pressure against calling for action against Venezuela, why would that be?. There are politicians here trying to bring attention to Venezuela like Pablo Mieres but the last time he went there he tried to visit some prisoners and was invited to leave. Also his party has like 4% of the votes here so no one cares about what he says.

Chuck Boone posted:We need more details! What was the stuffing? How would you describe the arepa dough (cold/lukewarm/hot? Was it dense and dry, or soft and chewie?) There are too many variables to consider! It was meat and cheese that I could tell, but that's probably a bastardization to appeal to Uruguayans (lack of) palate. I didn't like the dough, it was warm and spongy but i didn't like the texture and taste (didn't taste like much). It seems ok that I didn't because I tend to not like corn derivatives, like polenta and whatever else there is. Still better than that time I had a rice burrito.
