Venezuela's Political Disaster - January 3, 2009

Updated on January 7, 2009

Dear Journalists,

Happy New Year, Bonne Année, Féliz Año 2009!

Chavez succeeded to implement a new whim adding Cuba's flag in Venezuela's National Pantheon where former illustrious Venezuelans are buried. Word is that Chile's Salvador Allende also added the Cuban flag in Chile et voilà la fin de son régime which marked the end of his regime.

The following link is to article "El altar de la patria ultrajado" written by Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat commenting on Chavez's whim to add the Cuban flag to the National Pantheon

Correction:
En mi artículo titulado "El Altar de la Patria ultrajado" equivocadamente atribuyo a Antonio Leocadio Guzmán el decreto mediante el cual se creó el Panteón Nacional. El decreto fue dictado por Antonio Guzmán Blanco. Ofrezco mis excusas por el error. Adolfo R. Taylhardat

Infamous Chavez's officials believe that cutting in half Venezuelans' allowance to buy foreign currency will bring up savings to the administration. The infamous officials should implement cuts in the amounts of money Chavez gives free to Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua among others, and allow Venezuelans to live in dignity.

Venezuelans need help from developed governments and international organizations to restore democracy and end corruption.
