Venezuelan scavengers vie with vultures for Brazilian trash
Anthony Boadle

PACARAIMA, Brazil (Reuters) - Surrounded by vultures perched on trees awaiting their turn, Venezuelan migrants scrape out a living scavenging for metal, plastic, cardboard and food in a Brazilian border town’s rubbish dump.

Trapped in a wasteland limbo, they barely make enough to feed their families and cannot afford a bus ticket to get away and find regular work in Brazilian cities to the south.

They blame leftist President Nicolas Maduro for mismanaging their oil-producing nation’s economy and causing the deep crisis that has driven several million Venezuelans to emigrate across Latin America.

Yet another set of Venezuelans who blame Maduro and not socialism.

Guido, the interim president, is also a socialist.
If Maduro can be removed, Guido will be propped up by the United States and may employ a lighter form of socialism in which private companies control some of the oil well production.
But Venezuela will still be a socialist country.
