But, unless I missed it, Hugo has said nothing about KRY or the gold miners since this entire mess began a couple of weeks ago.

I don't know what to make of it.

When he nationalized other industries and kicked other companies out, I thought I remembered Hugo making these announcements or at least commenting on them.

Why is Ortega doing it?

And if she has no authority, why he is allowing her to play him as a fool?

I find this entire situation to be bizarre even for Venezuela.
