Maduro vows to radicalize the revolution
2015-04-16
[ELUNIVERSAL] "Let's make this April 13 a day for economy matters," Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro suggested late Monday, and requested the local working class to monitor the private sector, which he blamed for serious shortages of staples throughout Venezuela.

From Los Próceres promenade (southwest Caracas), in an act to commemorate the events (a failed coup) occurred back on April 11-13, 2012, Maduro stressed: "No more meetings (with the private sector). We have summoned them; we have talked; they wear a lamb face and go like wolves to stab people (in the back). Let's pull our socks up, let's act with an iron fist, and let's radicalize the revolution."

In reference to staples supply in the country, Maduro said "all the powers of the State" should tackle the problem. "If you cannot keep your economic activity up, go away. If someone is found involved in any conspiracy, he will go to jail."

#5  Did Maduro interpret the 'normalization' of US-Cuba relations a a green light for the full implementation of a communist dictatorship?

Sounds like anyone in the private sector is due for the chop. Time to head for the hills.
