Hey, How's Latin America Doing?
In Venezuela, tough luck if you work on a golf course.
The mayor of Venezuela's capital Caracas says he
plans to expropriate two exclusive golf courses and use the land for
homes for the city's poor.Mayor Juan Barreto has said playing golf on lavish courses within sight of the city's slums is "shameful".
In Guatemala, tough luck if… well, if you enjoy having constitutional rights.
The Guatemalan government announced Tuesday that it had suspended
some constitutional rights in five cities along Mexico's border as it
cracks down on drug growers and traffickers in the remote region.A two-week order, called a state of prevention, allows the
government to suspended the rights to carry firearms and hold
demonstrations and meetings, while expanding authorities' rights to
conduct searches.
