Fearing overthrow? Seize all Country Clubs...
Talk about crimes against humanity... Caracas Mayor Juan Barreto, an ally of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, ordered the seizure of two golf courses, extending a year-old government campaign aimed at taking over property it deems poorly utilized.
Poorly utilized? The Country Club golf course has 9,000 members and employs about 2,500 people, club President Fernando Zozaya said in an interview with Globovision television.
It's sad that I had little interest in the fate of Venezuela's upcoming election until the president starting shutting down golf clubs. Like my wife says, "Everyone has their cause"... smart woman.
