Venezuela wields a powerful "hate" law to silence Maduro's remaining foes

SPECIAL REPORT-Venezuela wields a powerful "hate" law to silence Maduro's remaining foes - Reuters

Urbaneja, Belisario wrote in a letter reviewed by Reuters, was conducting a "ferocious smear campaign" on Facebook and elsewhere.

Urbaneja not only defamed him ( Belisario) and President Nicolas Maduro, the mayor wrote. He violated Venezuela's Law Against Hate. The law, passed in 2017 but rarely used before this year, criminalizes actions that "incite hatred" against a person or group.

And as we all know, wise democrats already have "hate speech" laws on the books and now we know why.

The day is coming! I may not live to see it but it will be that Dictator Socialist Democrats use this clever law to help eliminate the competition and turn America into a one-party hellhole.

Lmao.

The Communist States of America sounds like crap 🤔

Crazy laws are on the way to control the masses.
Young people should direct their education towards a potential job in the government so at least they won't starve like the rest of us.

the hate law is considered unconstitutional and illegitimate by many Venezuelan legal scholars consulted by Reuters. Not only does the law violate the right to free expression, they argue, it was also illegally enacted – drafted and rubber-stamped by a parallel legislature that Maduro created at the time to circumvent the opposition-controlled assembly

I just noticed, everyone has both a like and dislike; the red and green colors are very Christmassy.

This is why Earl's opinions hold no weight on anything.

I can see the new Democrats creating laws like this one 🤔

Venezuela has the best election system in the world. All claims otherwise is pure propaganda.

If the US becomes a one party state it will be because Repubs prove themselves to be ONLY interested in winning by cheating, governing by letting the rich get richer and the poor get SCREWED.
When enough folks wake up and smell the stinking Republican coffee, they will just vote them into the richly deserved obscurity they bring on themselves.

Tell me what good for the COUNTRY does it when Moscow Mitch LITERALLY throws hundreds of house bills in the trash and not even bothering to read them BECAUSE they were democrat bills?

You really think that is good for the country?

Trump EVISCERATES the EPA, CDC, USDA, and the Pentagon and you come back with NOTHING TO SEE HERE, GO BACK HOME.
