Venezuela's President Maduro says his abrupt decision to scrap the country's most-used banknote has allowed the country to triumph over its enemies.
He said taking millions of 100-bolivar notes out of circulation has smashed the black market.
The withdrawl prompted protests and looting in several states as the supply of ready cash rapidly ran out.
On Saturday, President Maduro postponed the withdrawl until early January.
But there were still reports of rioting on Sunday as anxiety continued to run high.
Local reports said some businesses were still refusing to accept the 100-bolivar notes.....

Addressing opposition parties, he said, "Don't come and tell me they are political prisoners."

He’s definitely insane and needs to be removed, into a psych ward.
Just like our pols and their supporters, they think their every utterance will be swallowed wholesale by a gullible constituency. Rejection!
BBC News —> Lies and propaganda
they use the word ‘withdraw’,
as a deceptive euphemism
for MAKE WORTHLESS
after Jan 2, the Ven govt won’t take the
100B bills for anything
Now why would anyone bother doing that when that govt is busy destroying itself?
“Mad” Maduro has pretty much ‘fornicated’ his country beyond all recognition.
Real people, real suffering involving millions of people.
The clock is ticking for Maduro. He will soon be dumped on the ash heap of history.
The Alinsky model in failure mode.
Indeed, his end could be very much like that.
Cuba runs Vz.
You’ll need their permission...
The evolving collapse in Venezuela yet again points out the necessity of the separation of money from the state. There are different ways to do this but I like the way that bitcoin does it.
“”The clock is ticking for Maduro. He will soon be dumped on the ash heap of history.””
Nope -just need to point to the castro brothers-
soooo many tried to kill those 2 evil men- and looks
like both will live to old age- maduro wants to be just like cuba- but because they have 3 times the population-
maybe they can’t get away with MURDERING 1 million+
Unfortunately Madero is too media-exposed to opt for the Stalin, Mao, Castro solution of making a few dozen million of the opposition simply disappear.
Maduro to Venezuelans:
How dare you try to eat!
