Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using this site's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui@gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

Carta a un amigo desesperanzado

Estimado amigo,

Esta es la segunda vez que me encuentro en la embarazosa situación de observar reacciones de nuestros compatriotas ante victorias de Chavez. La primera, no sé si recordarás, fue en el 2006, cuando Rosales. Me reconforta saber que hablamos justo antes de esta ultima elección, y que a tu pregunta sobre como veía las cosas, te respondí con un claro "no veo a Capriles ganando."
