    Venezuela, an oil rich country but poor because of bad politics.

    everyone talks about the inflation in venezuela but never say why. US sanctions. this is again US meddling in other countries elections.
  • Maria get ban to contest Venezuela election and the election commissioners allowed it and Supreme court allowed too. MAD URA influenced the whole election system and even the laws. 😊😮😢

    Ask any Venezolano -- Maduro is a tough maybe corrupt leader, but the sanctions by the US have been cruel to the citizens and do nothing to his presidency. Drop the sanctions and let the people choose!

    Venezuela could have been as wealthy as Canada or Australia since their population is the same size and as rich in natural resource.
  • @Regenold
