La irresistible propuesta de Montero para Andalucía: expoliar a los andaluces para financiar el independentismo

El PSOE se enfrenta a las próximas elecciones autonómicas con la tarea imposible de intentar hacer tragar a los ciudadanos la rueda de molino de su acuerdo de privilegios para la burocracia de Cataluña con Esquerra. 

La irresistible propuesta de Montero para Andalucía: expoliar a los andaluces para financiar el independentismo

Montero se presenta a las elecciones andaluzas con un programa “irresistible”:expoliar a impuestos a los andaluces, endeudarlos y que la Generalitat de Catalunya sea la más privilegiada, además de dictar desde Barcelona la fiscalidad de los ciudadanos de Andalucía.

El PSOE afirma que todas las comunidades ganan con un modelo que dota de 21.000 millones adicionales a las autonomías. Sin embargo, es falso. No se dotan más recursos a las autonomías, se endeuda todavía más al país.

El socialismo ofrece un espejismo de recursos públicos que solo es más deuda mientras impone una fiscalidad confiscatoria a medida del independentismo depredador.

Markets May Exaggerate the Risks of Venezuela and Greenland

Most of the recent reports about the potential opportunity in Greenland and Venezuela focus on the large capital expenditure required, technical challenges, and legal security risks. However, markets may exaggerate the risks and underestimate the potential.

Markets May Exaggerate the Risks of Venezuela and Greenland

It is interesting to read that the United States should not invest in Venezuela and Greenland because they are high-risk, low-potential areas, but the same analysts find no problem in China and Russia developing those resources.

Venezuela is not poor due to sanctions. It is poor because the Chavez-Maduro regime stole hundreds of billions of dollars and demolished the productive fabric of the economy.

Venezuela had 12,700 private companies when Chávez came to power, according to Conindustria. Only about 3,800 manufacturing industries are still operating, of which around 3,200 are privately owned and 600 are state‑owned.

Socialism, not sanctions, is responsible for the destruction of Venezuela

The assault on private property culminated with the expropriation of more than 690 companies in twelve years. Government-run businesses failed, and large state-owned companies in Venezuela are technically insolvent or heavily loss-making.

Socialism of the XXI century, they called it: government expropriations, price controls, capital controls, and complete absence of legal and investor security.

How Maduro, Cuba and their allies stole Venezuela’s oil wealth.

All freedom defenders must welcome Maduro’s arrest as the beginning of a democratic transition process in Venezuela. The economic and political debate often ignores that the Maduro dictatorship weaponised the national oil company to use it as a cash machine to enrich the leaders of the socialist regime and finance the demolition of democratic institutions all over Latin America, creating an international group of allies with the main objective of demolishing US, European, and Latin American democracies from the inside.

Some commentators remove from the economic debate the deliberate collapse of PDVSA, Venezuela’s institutional destruction, and the use of oil as an international political weapon as well as a tool for the personal enrichment of Maduro and his allies. Maduro’s personal wealth is estimated at $3.8 billion. $700 million in assets has already been seized.
