The water that the Venezuelan people drink, vs the water that Maduro drinks.

Inhabitants of Chacao: The water that comes to us is very little and unhealthy

translated from Spanish

Oleg Kostko 15 Aug 2018.- A group of residents of the municipality of Chacao denounced on Wednesday in a demonstration that the little water that reaches them through pipelines comes with turbid tones and unpleasant odors.

"Not only do we denounce the little water that comes to us but also the poor quality with which it does it, which is yellow water that smells brown, water that smells of water that it knows, water that I am sure they do not take in Miraflores", denounced the neighborhood leader Gabriel Santana in statements given to El Nacional

Santana warned that the consumption of such water can cause serious illness to those who consume or use it. "This is the water that all Venezuelans drink and that can cause diseases, can cause amoebiasis salmonella infections by bacteria and parasites that they bring," he said.

One of the people who was in the demonstration explained that there are already neighbors with intestinal diseases because of this water so the medicines to treat them are exhausted.

"The remedies to solve gastrointestinal problems are totally depleted and it is because the neighbors have been attacked by different ailments caused by the consumption of water that is obviously not potable."

Without a doubt, Maduro blames the nasty water problem on the vast conspiracies by the CIA and Colombia... not at all on the 19 years of infrastructure neglect at the hands of Chavismo.

Besides, isn't brown water like brown rice? Chock full of vitamins and minerals?
