> A prolonged financial crisis in Venezuela, brought about through a combination of financial mismanagement and economic sanctions imposed by the United States.<p>This is such a sugar coated way of assigning blame. Venezuela is in the grip of a dictator, who despite the country having rich resources in comparison to its neigbours (oil) has been run into the ground by failed leftist idealism inherited from Chavez.<p>My heart really goes out to these people, and I sincerely hope the cancer that is Maduro will be removed soon.
