One must be in awe at the news this morning, reflecting an interview of our top economic minister to the the top chavista talk show. General Marcos Torres who is now the one in charge of all the money in Venezuela has given a gravity defying performance, helped by Jose Vicente Rangel, the worst courtier of the regime. But there is already a clear interpretation beyond the words of the General. One, the regime is already hard into an electoral campaign that may come sooner than expected and two, as a General we can only by charitable by supposing he thinks the economy is just like the barracks; he gives orders, people obey, results are predictable.
To make sure you do not think I am making up what follows then, I will take my sources from two pro Chavez papers,
Ultimas Noticias and
El Universal. Also I am not going to comment on this as a financier which I am not but as a business person at ground zero.
