A group of colectivos threatened journalists from VPI and NTN24 who were covering a protest outside the Ministry of Education this Friday.

Through VPItv's Twitter account, it became known that anti-socials scared reporters with knives.

"Our team of VPItv and partners of NTN24 were threatened with weapons by groups that were outside the Ministry of Education," said the media.

The journalists were in the protest that made a group of teachers because of the conditions in which the schools are located a week before the start of the school period.

Well, why not? About the only ones that Chavismo hasn't thrown under the bus are its enforcers. Colectivos are armed thugs who do the dirty work that the PNB and GNB cannot be seen doing. After all, it would be very unseemly if the uniformed PNB/GNB went around robbing people and threatening people... oh... wait....

(They denounce that GNB troops charge up to 10 thousand pesos to let fill gasoline in Táchira)

Nothing like a little "shakedown" to start your day, after spending 48 hours in line to buy gas...
