Double standard
Days after the April 14th election, this video of Housing Minister Ricardo Molina threating to fire any employee who dares to “speak ill of the Revolution” or is in any way involved with an opposition political party went public after it was published online.

Where have you gone, Edward Snowden, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you…oooh-oooh-oooh…
