In Venezuela criticizing the government is now a 'hate crime'

VOA:
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has called for an investigation into Roman Catholic priests he says have made comments critical of the government.

Maduro said in an address Monday that church officials may have committed hate crimes, an accusation he frequently levels at government critics.

He called on the pro-government chief prosecutor and Supreme Court to investigate.

Venezuela sits atop the world's largest oil reserves but is enduring an economic after nearly two decades of socialist rule.
...
It is not surprising that starving the population in the name of socialism would lead to criticism of those responsible.  I can see why they would hate someone so determined to push a failed socialistic agenda.  One has to be incorrigible ignorant to persist with something that is so obviously failing.
