Kerry blasts Venezuela's 'egregious behavior'

[Zorro]

US Secretary of State John Kerry blasted the Venezuelan government's "egregious behavior" and promised the speedy implementation of recent sanctions against the crisis-hit country.

Speaking at a US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Kerry said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's regime had made a series of "wrong choices" in its handling of anti-government protests, as well as its clampdown on opposition leaders over claims of a US-backed coup plot.

"Venezuela keeps moving in the wrong direction and making the wrong choices," Kerry said. "The answer is the sanctions are being implemented right now as fast as possible."

Washington in December passed a law allowing sanctions against senior Venezuelan officials accused of violating the rights of protesters during anti-government demonstrations at the start of 2014.

1. Fuck you, you hypocritical corporate tool.

2. Right, nothing wrong with a resolution that allows state police to use deadly force in protests

It's already claimed the life of an innocent 14-year-old. But of course, you probably don't think this is "egregious" since it's a leftist buffoon who's in power. If the president was right-wing, you'd be condemning it non-stop.
