New laws could suffocate the private sector in Venezuela

There are claims of government attempts at tightening its grip on industry and business

In the official language, such terms as "excessive earnings," "speculative earnings," and "fair prices," are more and more repeated to condemn speculation. Some of them will take legal shape.

Mario Isea, the president of the National Assembly Economic Development Commission, confirmed it on January 20. In addition to the fast approval of the reform to the Law on Indepabis (Institute for the Defense of People in the Access to Goods and Services), the government will take steps towards a new Commercial Code, a law to regulate earnings and an antitrust legal instrument.

“New laws could suffocate the private sector in Venezuela”

That is the whole point in the Sovietization of formerly democratic Venezuela.

Suffocating the private sector - gee, you think?

Does “reform” down there look familiar at all?

“the Law on Indepabis (Institute for the Defense of People in the Access to Goods and Services)”

Orwell must be green with envy that he didn’t come up with this one.

Students have been protesting all week over Chavez’s closing down of the RCTV cable and satellite channel.

Here’s a blog page that has a picture of the Chavez police roughing up a protestor. It also links to other pictures from a Venezuelan newspaper.

Pat Robertson was dead on right.

Hard for me to care about new laws suffocating the private sector of Venezuela, when we have Socialist/Marxist in our on Government right here in the U.S doing the same thing!

Choose this day how you will serve; Will you serve unwillingly and at the bidding of others wearing the yoke of socialism or will hold true to the course of our forefathers' standing tall and serving freely? As for me I choose to SERVE THE REPUBLIC!

Reminds me of our Washington Nazis passing (or trying to pass) a law to force insurance companies to insure people with terminal diseases. That would put the companies out of business.
