VENEZUELA CRUMBLES: Maduro Tells Migrants to ‘STOP CLEANING TOILETS’ Abroad, Return Home

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.30.18

Venezuela’s Socialist President Nicolas Maduro urged migrants abroad to “stop cleaning toilets” and return to his troubled country this week; saying the refugees only fled because they were tricked by foreign governments into thinking “it was finished here.”

Maduro addressed lawmakers during a televised appearance Wednesday; urging Venezuelans who have fled the escalating crisis to return and help rebuild the troubled nation.

“It can’t be that some Venezuelans left the country to clean toilets overseas, they should come home. I’m saying this even if it hurts to leave the country to become economic slaves abroad,” said Maduro.

An estimated 1.6 million people have fled the country since the economic collapse of 2015.

PARADISE LOST: Inflation Nears 1,000,000% in Venezuela, Eggs Cost 2 WEEKS PAY

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.02.18

The economic crisis engulfing Venezuela reached new heights this week, with the nation’s currency seeing inflation rates nearing 1,000,000% as the socialist government struggles to contain the economic collapse.

According to the Washington Post, the Venezuelan Bolivar plunged in foreign exchange rates as the price of a dozen eggs reached 2,600,000 Bolivares in local supermarkets and shops.

“This week, for instance, the price of a dozen eggs topped 2.6 million bolívares — equal to two weeks’ pay at the minimum wage. But for a Venezuelan who can exchange dollars at the black market rate, those same eggs are a relative bargain, costing only 60 cents,” writes the Post.

“I never feel clean anymore,” said one citizen. “We’re hungry most of the time. I don’t think things will get better.”

Just this week, socialist president Nicolas Maduro admitted his government’s economic policies have totally “failed,” vowing to implement new guidelines to stabilize the crumbling currency.

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.15.18

Venezuela’s crumbling economy and crippling resource shortages reached new heights this week, with the socialist government “cutting” water supplies as the country’s currency crisis soared to over 1,000,000% inflation.

According to Reuters, the nation’s hospitals, hotels, and apartment complexes have started closing shower facilities, public water taps, and sanitation equipment as residents struggle to find adequate food and drinkable water.

“I have gone to the operation bloc and opened the tap to wash my hands, as you must do before a surgery, and nothing comes out,” said one doctor.

“Water cuts are the latest addition to a long list of woes for Venezuelans hurting from a fifth year of an economic crisis that has sparked malnutrition, hyperinflation and emigration,” writes Reuters.

“For many years this deterioration process was not noticeable. But now the water transport systems are very damaged,” said an industry insider responsible for the capital’s water supply.
