Twitter "smackdown" between Maduro (Chavismo) v. Venezuelans without water for months (utility)

Maduro (during a campaign event) orders the dictatorial takeover of a Venezuelan utility that cannot supply water (or electricity blah blah blah...), because Chavismo is never to blame for infrastructure that has been left to rot for 18 years... this time blaming Chavista governor Ramón Guevara for the layoffs at the Hydrological Company and for the sabotage to the supply of water and rate increases... because this never happens when a company/utility/governor is DEDICATED to the Bolivarian Revolution!



(rough English translation) I have approved the intervention of the Hydrological Institute of Mérida, that order be placed, I have asked for a broad explanation of the decision. In an absurd way they had increased water service rates in this entity)

and the rebuttal from the water company,




giving a detailed accounting of why they can't pump the water, nor equipment to pump the water that they don't have, as well as WHY THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO MAKE WATER MAGICALLY APPEAR AT THE FAUCETS OF THE PEOPLE. Perhaps Maduro can magically pump water OUT OF HIS ASS? He blames El Nino (AGAIN) for empty reservoirs (they are full) to pump to El Pueblo?

Then, a HUGE water main collapsed (again, full of water that Chavismo says doesn't exist!), destroying houses that Chavistas allowed to build RIGHT ON TOP OF THE MAIN! (No blame on them, only the laws of physics and gravity?)




Followed by "a Twitter denunciation" by Chavismo... claiming more saboteurs of the pipeline (lusty iguanas, perhaps? Anti Chavista Illuminati? Bilderbergers? Martians?)




No end in sight for the excuses of failure for Chavismo... always somebody to blame.

Grab the popcorn and pull up a chair, kids... the entertainment has hit high gear in ChavismoLand!
