Venezuelans acted as if they put the oil in the ground, instead of a matter of luck.

Almost ten years ago i saw a simple company selling perfume copies and just having a simple office in Caracas move this simple administrative task to Colombia. <br />That was not the only one. It was something to worry about to see companies move its offices from Venezuela to Colombia in a moment when the terrorism was rampant.<br />First companies, now people. I need no thinking about. I´m already worried about the future of our countryLuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614408365757665164noreply@blogger.com
