Venezuelan National Assembly to Investigate Expropriated Land, Communes Threatened

By Lucas Koerner

Caracas, January 28, 2016. (venezuelanalysis.com) – After passing a motion by majority vote on Tuesday, Venezuela’s National Assembly will launch an inquiry into the expropriations of privately owned land and enterprises spearheaded by the socialist government in past years.

The country’s newly elected parliament, dominated by the right-wing opposition, has vowed to reverse the socialist government’s social and economic policies, which included the breakup of large private firms and landholdings deemed unproductive and their transfer to state, worker, or communal control.

According to the legislative body’s Finance Commission, the investigation will extend to expropriated plantations, enterprises, and agro-industries with aim of “comparing the levels of production before and after expropriation”.

A key target of the parliamentary audit is the state agricultural enterprise Agropatria, which was created following the expropriation of the Spanish agricultural firm Agroisleña.

1. The expropriated lands have all been ruined thanks to Chavista management

It's a good thing that they all start being given back to their original owners. You know, back when they were actually producing?
