Enough is enough of this farce! El Mundo's Julio Cesar Camacho says it's simply more of the same claptrap from MinCI Andres Izarra!

VHeadline Venezuela News reports: Seasoned El Mundo columnist Julio Cesar Camacho says it's simply more of the same ... when Communications & Information (MinCI) Minister Andres Izarra made his controversial statement some days ago that the government would no longer advertise in Venezuela's privately-owned print and broadcast media, the complete and utter lunacy of the statement was met with frank incredulity by most editors and media owners.

"It seems that Mr. Izarra was NOT aware that this is precisely what has been happening for quite some time now," Camacho wrote in his Saturday column in the leading Caracas evening newspaper. "What he HAS done is simply to ratify the arbitrary and abusive way the government is trying to penalize those who oppose what they're doing. They seem to forget that the monies spent on advertising come from the public treasury and that that is the patrimony of each and every Venezuelan who pays taxes and fulfills their obligations. The National Executive is making use of OUR resources and collects taxes but seems to think that they can use the money from the public purse at will!"

"They forget that public funds should be distributed among ALL Venezuelans ... NOT just for the benefit of those who support the current regime!"

"While it is in power, the government controls the Central Bank, much of the commercial banking sector, media, food distribution and the incomes from oil, iron, electricity, telephones and so on ... i.e. the most productive revenues in the country. But they insist on taking OUR property as if they had been given the carte blanche luxury to give it all awat to to foreign governments. The President has said that he will not give constitutionally mandated appropriations funds from central government to opposition governors ... but it's a free-for-all to give Venezuelan money away to Fidel Castro, Evo Morales, Daniel Ortega and other foreign leaders ... yes, there's enough in the kitty for that!"

"For Venezuelans is means more taxes and more belt-tightening ... friend Izarra should look for another excuse than paid advertisements that he wants to stop publishing in the private media and, at the same time to cease and desist from continue the same old claptrap that things are the good with the government and that everyone else is coup plotters and traitors. Enough is enough of this farce!"
