Thanks.

Ortega said 174 people remained in custody for violent crimes committed during the wave of anti-government protests.

She said only 17 of those detained are students, contrary to the assertions of government opponents who claimed the protests were mainly spearheaded by students, and that many of them remained in detention.

Thanks Judi.

I hope President Maduro has verifiable evidence that can not be disputed !!!!!!

I hope he blows the lid off all the underhanded things the U.S. government is doing to try to destabilize the government of Venezuela.

They dogged the late great Hugo Chavez to his grave.

It saddens me how much they have stagnated the progress that Venezuela could have made.

I am pleased with the progress that has happened, despite the interference of the U.S., and the traitorous Venezuelans that live in the U.S.

The U.S. powers that be want access and control over the oil in Venezuela.

They will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

They want to stop the Bolivarian Revolution !!!

The U.S. government does not represent the needs of the working people.

They disagree with any country, or government that does.

Greedy ruthless pigs.

We have only the entire history of Latin America to use as a pattern.

NOT Democratic, not by a mile, and they need to stay out of other people's business.

Your points are accurate.

I am ashamed of the neocon scumbags in our gov't who habitually lie and cheat to create war
and/or steal from other countries.

Are you talking about the Obama administration?

We all are totally aware the policy remains the same regardless of who's in charge, unless the President has really powerful morals.

Pick up a book, why not, and step away from molesting Democrats who come here to communicate with Democrats?

Either that, or Obama lacks "powerful morals".

With Democrats like you, who needs Republicans?

there will be actual hope and change.
Keep up the good work.

from our entire lives, and from our beliefs.

You are so kind, thank you.
