When you take a look at Venezuela's economic position and listen to the many voices coming out of there, fingers are all pointing in the direction of the present leaders. In any dialogue it is important that we keep this in mind and not allow anyone to pull wool over our eyes. See what is taking place for yourself and not just swallow well made speeches. Do not be deceived.
The problem in Venezuela is not the people but poor management; lack of knowledge of what to do and selfish behaviour by those in authority. If these are some of the things that characterises our neighbour's leadership, it will be spinning top in mud if things are left in their hands and aid given.
What Venezuela needs we cannot do for them. They need new management. What can happen if we really are concerned about that country is to speak the truth to those in charge and this must come from the top.
So to all those who are so keen to solve the problems that our neighbour Venezuela is going through, please be bold enough to strike the axe at the root of the tree–the leadership.
