    This is a cause for worry. Venezuela had the second highest rate of inflation in the world last year at 27.6%* and has consistenly been the worst performer in this regard in the whole of Latin America.
    I do not think that this is something we would want to import into Dominica

    * (only Ethiopia did worse at 31.5%)

    The anointed shepherd in DA, and the dictator in Venezuela have blinded the eyes of the people that they may believe a Lie.

    It is time for this dictator and his Alba to disappear from the political scene.

    We must not follow his political idealogy and start hating Americans and Europeans, like he does.

    Mr. Chavez should go and rest and allow someone else with better vision rule his country.

    Be very careful what you wish people. If the Alba economic bloc becomes a reality we may well see the introduction of the “Sucre” to settle internal payments, including civil servants’ & local employees’ salaries whilst the big guys maintain overseas bank accounts in hard, easily convertible currencies.

      you fool how do you the USA economic bloc was formed.
      Is time you people open your eyes. USA will do what ever it takes to keep all of you in your place.

      They talk about equal rights and justice when it was they who could not give black people equal rights in America.

      They talk about tyranny. However they have aggressive military bases all over the planet.However their biggest weapon is the media. that will keep people like you blind.

      Just because a few blacks can go on TV and show off some bling, they think they have a place in the so called american dream. The majority of blacks in america a poor uneducated and in jail.

      When they use to hunt black people down as slaves. they paid a few black hunters to capture their own people. Trust me their style has not change.

      so go on praise the great white America.

      Is time the Caribbean and Latin country trade
      free trade and economic movement is needed down here. this one sided game have to stop.
