Maduro Under Pressure: EU Says May Impose More Sanctions On Venezuela If Democracy Undermined

[Petar + 76]

 The European Union said on Thursday it could impose further sanctions on Venezuela if it believes democracy is being undermined there, after its president called for elections next month that the main opposition has said it will boycott. EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement that she regretted the way the authorities under President Nicolas Maduro had called the May 20 presidential and legislative elections without a consensus on the “conditions for a credible and inclusive electoral process”. Venezuela is on the edge long, long time- abyss

Venezuela is in big trouble (much, much bigger than its been in thus far).

Venezuela has tumbled into an economic and social crisis, with millions suffering food and medicine shortages, hyperinflation and growing insecurity, which is the result of the dysfunctional policies of Maduro’s government. Three 3 million people already  flee the country.

Ok. Venezuela is synonymous for corruption, human rights violations, etc ... But they cool with Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, from time to time with Russia, etc...The hypocrites.

How about they impose sanctions on Hungary or Poland for undermining democracy or semitic and  religious attacks.. Oh, both countries are in EU...

[ThunderBlade + 231]

Democracy has already been undermined. EU, try to establish democracy in Iran...

[Petar + 76]

EU policy, but not just the EU, is full of false promises .... Inconsistent.  That’s like having the fox reprimand the coyote for raiding the chicken coop.

The EU must be joking (or obtuse).  Venezuela is a Socialist quasi-dictatorship, and Maduro's opponents are throw in prison (or worse).  

Democracy in Venezuela?  No such thing.  Circling the drain.
