Vandaag laten we Venex Curacao aan het woord.
The Simon Bolívar School Ship arrived, the Ambassador Without Borders, the Ambassador of the Dictatorshìp.
During the visite to its facilities yesterday, visitors had to listen to the anthem of Venezuela in the voice of Hugo Chávez. They were to hear praises bo the ‘ebernal commander’.
You may wonder: How much does each shìpment cost? How much food and medicíne could be bought with what is invested in each trip? Should not he be carrying humanitarian aid instead of propaganda, not the country, but the ruling party and its leaders?
In Venezuela there are people dying for lack of food, for lack of medicines and for repressi- on when they protest. But the school shìp saìls around the world advertising those who book the country to misery. We do not lose hope that the time will come when govern— ments put the respect for democracy and human ríghts before the formalities.
Only then, dictatorshìps will no longer have the supports and silences of those who enjoy today.
Venex Curacao,
Curacao
