Thor Halvorssen - en frekk bløffmaker

The majority of those protesting are Venezuela’s poor and they suffer chronic shortages (even toilet paper is a luxury), ever rising inflation and high crime, skriver Thor Halvorssen i NYT.

Allerede dagen etter skriver avisen selv:

But while the poor are often hit especially hard by these troubles, the protests shaking the capital this month have been dominated by the city’s middle- and upper-class residents. They have poured into the streets of their neighborhoods en masse, turning them into barricaded redoubts. Yet in the city’s poorer sections, life has mostly gone on as usual.

Dette er typisk for Halvorssens metode. Han vrenger, bløffer eller underslår fakta. Hans fulle navn er Thor Halvorssen Mendoza, noe som raskt ville vist at det er partsinnlegg for Halvorssens søskenbarn, opposisjonslederen.

Halvorssen er ikke en menneskrettsaktivist selv om han er leder for Oslo "Freedom" Forum og Human Rights Foundation. Han er venezuelansk politiker som hater Chavez regimet.
