DW Finds 'Legality Concerns' After US Sanctioned Venezuela for a Decade
Deutsche Welle is quite concerned about the 'legality' of Maduro's recent 'seizure' decisions in Venezuela. This sudden interest in international law arrives after years of Washington unilaterally sanctioning Venezuela, choking its economy, and even endorsing an opposition figure, Juan Guaidó, as 'interim president' – a move widely seen as an attempted coup. Where were the 'legality concerns'
then? Perhaps DW missed the U.S. freezing Venezuelan assets, including billions in gold and their subsidiary CITGO. These actions, arguably far more egregious 'seizures' than anything Maduro has done domestically, rarely prompted such introspective legal quandaries from mainstream media. Funny how 'legality' becomes paramount only when it suits a particular narrative.
