President Venezuela counter press agencies

caracas - Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has accused a series of international news agencies worldwide campaigning against Venezuela. According to Maduro, the campaign against his country is led by the AFP, AP, EFE and Reuters news agencies.

Last year they spent 3800 times negative news about Venezuela, Maduro complained Monday night at a meeting with Venezuelan media. 'Every day they only bring news about Venezuela in the whole world, because they want our oil and our riches, they want to deal with the Bolivarian Revolution which is an example for anti-neoliberal dignity. '

Venezuela sighs under the economic mismanagement of the left-wing populist Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chávez (1954-2013). On Tuesday, the parliament's finance committee reported that the country suffered 2616 percent inflation in 2017 and that GDP contracted 15 percent.
