Maduro requests state to act against El Tiempo (Venezuelan) newspaper (spanish)

http://www.eluniversal.com/economia/fiscalizaciones/131114/maduro-pide-a-los-organismos-del-estado-actuar-contra-diario-el-tiempo

Maduro accused the newsppaer in Anzoategui of inciting violence after they published in their headline declarations from a business owner who was arrested and whose business was being "investigated" and said, "I prefer that the people loot us. It would be cheaper."

Maduro said, "This business man, look what he said, inciting crime, the violence, looting. El Tiempo has commited a crime and I expect that the Ven. officials come and act in accordance with the law. This man was charging 1000% for product."

Maduro said this is a crime and part of the psychological war, to incite violence, like war propaganda and he commented that the owners of the newspaper did it consciously.

I can't wait to see what happens when this "leftist" president gets his rule by decree powers next week.




El presidente de la República, Nicolás Maduro, señaló al diario El Tiempo de Anzoátegui de incitar a la violencia luego de publicar en su titular declaraciones de un empresario que fue arrestado luego de una fiscalización en un comercio de su propiedad.

"Este empresario miren lo que dijo, incitando al delito, a la violencia, al saqueo. Diario El Tiempo ha cometido un delito y espero que organismos del Estado venezolano como vienen actuando, lo hagan de acuerdo a la Ley. Este señor, cobró más de 1000% por producto", indicó.

El titular de El Tiempo dice: "Yo prefiero que la gente nos saquee, nos sale más barato".

Maduro aseguró que es un delito y forma parte de una guerra psicológica, incitando a la violencia, así como propaganda de guerra y comentó que los dueños del diario lo hicieron con conocimiento de causa.
