Maduro's cynicism: he spent € 50,000 on a musician for his birthday while the crisis and Covid drown Venezuela

Nicolás Maduro's cynicism has no limits. On November 23, the Venezuelan dictator had his birthday and the celebration was very popular. Televised by the Venezuelan public network, the birthday party featured a large and colorful cake with the Venezuelan flag, as well as musical settings. While the coronavirus and the country's serious economic crisis generated a bomb against Venezuelan society, whose difficulties in obtaining medicines is already known, its "president" celebrated its anniversary with great fanfare. The party was widely criticized by the opposition for leading to Venezuela foreign singers when the country's borders were very restricted for citizens. One of those singers was Bonny Cepeda, a well-known Dominican artist who collected the not inconsiderable figure of $ 60,000 (more than 49,000 euros) for Maduro's 58th birthday. Criticism also came from the televised "waste" of the president, who sang and danced with several family members, friends and members of the Executive, with whom he shared a large cake with the colors of the Venezuelan flag.Now, the singer in question has revealed the money he received for his performance and the opposition has entered anger. The representative of Juan Guaidó, Tomás Guanipa, criticized that "while Venezuelans die of hunger and the collapse of the hospital system," Maduro pays "thousands of dollars to hire a salsa singer" to celebrate his birthday. “The contempt of Maduro and his leadership is every day more damaging. While a Venezuelan earns less than a dollar a month, Maduro pays a singer 60,000 dollars to come to the country and sing to him on his birthday, "Guanipa denounced through social networks.
