Venezuela’s
president Nicolás Maduro, ordered the United States to reduce its 100 diplomatic
civil servants of their embassy in Caracas to a similar level as the 17 that
Venezuela’s Government maintains in Washington.
Besides, he ordered that each meeting that the United States wants to make in
Venezuela must be notified and authorized by Venezuela’s Government. That is
because he says that they must end with the “conspiratorial meetings of these
civil servants”. Other order is that a visa must be requested to every people
from the United States that wants to enter in Venezuela, and they must pay the
same amount of money than the United States fixed for it.
Finally he prohibited the entrance of George W. Bush (USA ex-president), Dick
Cheney (USA ex-vice-president), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Marco Rubio (parliamentarians)
to Venezuela.

This
happened because some years ago, in 1953, the United States supported Venezuela’s
president, called Pérez Jiménez, to maintain a good commercial relationship due
to the big amount of petroleum of the country and its anticommunism. Some years later, there was a coup d’état by
Hugo Chávez, supported by Cuba, and he was a communist, so the relationship
with the USA was worse each time. To avoid problems with coups that could come
supported by democratic countries (like the United States), the actual Venezuelan
president, Nicolás Maduro, is complicating the entrance to the politicians from
democratic countries, and in that way he can get more political power, limit influences from the United States and stay
in the power for more years.
