Venezuela’s Capriles Vows to End Cuba Giveaways
Mar 19, 2013
CARACAS Venezuelan opposition presidential candidate on Monday vowed to end the OPEC nation's shipments of subsidized oil to communist-run Cuba, slamming acting President as a puppet of Havana.
Capriles has berated Maduro as a weak imitation of the late Hugo Chavez, whose death two weeks ago convulsed the country and triggered the April 14 vote. The opposition also accuses the government of failing to fight crime and control inflation.
"The giveaways to other countries are going to end. Not another drop of oil will go toward financing the government of the Castros," Capriles said, referring to Cuba's present and past leaders, Raul and Fidel Castro.
