Venezuela says regional group 'corrupt' after election criticism

[Zorro]

Venezuela's top legislator lambasted the Organization of American States (OAS) as "perverted" and "corrupt" after its secretary general criticized the country's electoral board for failing to ensure fair elections.

The OAS' Luis Almagro on Tuesday urged Tibisay Lucena, who heads Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE), to level the playing field between the Socialist Party and opposition ahead of legislative elections due Dec. 6.

"The most perverted, corrupt and discredited organization in the world, the OAS ... threatens the people of Venezuela," National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello said in comments published by local media.

Venezuela has for years clashed with the OAS, accusing the organization of being a front for U.S. interests and meddling in its internal affairs.

1. They can't bribe the OAS To say what they want like they used to

Now that more and more countries and entities are speaking out against the regime, they're now branded as "corrupt." These Chavista delinquents know no bounds.

2. Sounds like they're getting desperate.

Waiting for the usual suspects to claim it's a USA/CIA plot to meddle in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
