President Correa Denounces Deceit of Venezuelan Opposition
Imagen activaQuito, Apr 9 (Prensa Latina) President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, denounced the use of deception by the opposition to the government of Venezuela to try to seize power in that country.
In his account on the social network Twitter, the president recalled a phrase of the Liberator Simon Bolivar: 'They will not dominate us by force but by deception' and copied a link to an article replicated by several media on an iconic photo of shortages in Venezuela.
It turns out that the picture was not taken in the South American country, as it was made believed, but in New York, United States, and deceived the most popular search engines on the Internet, Google.
The snapshot was made in 2011 by a photographer from the Reuters agency when Hurricane Irene was expected in U.S. and desperate people emptied the supermarkets to stockpile food and water.
The Spanish newspaper El Mundo showed on digital networks manipulation orchestrated by anonymous users, bloggers and political parties of the Venezuelan opposition who decided to systematically use this image to denounce the economic problems the Bolivarian Republic is facing.
