Environmental organization Greenpeace on Friday held the "sinful alliance" between Venezuela and the United States responsible for the failure of the efforts made during the Rio+20 summit to set the Oceans Rescue Plan for the High Seas in motion and launch negotiations leading to an international treaty.

"The plan... was thwarted by a sinful alliance between the United States and Venezuela in conjunction with Russia and Canada," affirmed executive director of Greenpeace Kumi Naidoo, according to DPA.

Venezuelans and Americans have a lot in common.

Most states follow our example in one way or another. US imprisons without due process? Well golly gee, there are thousands and thousands of Venezuelans in prison without being charged.
