Hugo Chavez’s Daughters Refuse to Leave Presidential Party Palace
Vocativ ^ | 2/21/2014 | Jan-Albert Hootsen

It’s hard times in Venezuela these days. The economy is in shambles, crime is spiraling, and the opposition is leading increasingly strident protests on the streets. To make matters worse, President Nicolás Maduro can’t even deal with the crisis from the comforts of the presidential palace.

Constitutionally, of course, Maduro has been able live in La Casona, a luxurious villa in the heart of the capital, since he was sworn in last year. The only problem: Almost a year after Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chávez, passed away, his three grown children—Maria Gabriela, Rosa Virginia and Hugo Jr.—are still living in the villa. Apparently, they have no intention of leaving.

The two daughters have allegedly converted La Casona into a social club for friends of the family. According to recent media reports, neighbors complain of “deafening” parties. Fast-food restaurants and catering agencies refuse to deliver to the mansion, allegedly, because the Chávez kids have stopped paying their bills. Even concert organizers are complaining; Chavez’s daughters allegedly force them to hand over dozens of free tickets so they can share them with their friends.

So Maduro is living in the VP Palace, while the VP who is married to one of Hugo's daughters hangs out in the party pad.

Imagine, they would be required to go out and interact
with the common people, the masses, who they adore.

Wow, crazier and crazier.

Meanwhile they arrested the opposition leader for crimes government backed thugs carried out (Minister of Prisons even gave the thugs an attaboy on Twitter)

They are tempting fate. That’s a good way to get stripped and hanged upside down in the town square like Il Duce and his girlfriend.

“...his three grown children—Maria Gabriela, Rosa Virginia and Hugo Jr.—are still living in the villa.”

Typical indolent and arrogant commies. They learned their lessons well.

So, are the protestors Chavez supporters, or what?

Seems that if Chavez cronies are in the chambers of government numerous enough to keep the Chavez rug rats in the President’s quarters, and the president out, then Chavez rules from the grave, leaving Maduro serving as no more than a dinner host st state functions.

That appears to be pretty much the case. The people holding most of the power were Chavez appointees, not Maduro appointees. They don't owe him anything, and could have him taken out it Maduro tried to cross them.

The DC chapter of FR staged outside the VP residence with signs that told Gore to “Get out”.
