    Switzerland was commanded by the USA’s President Trump to freeze Maduro’s assets.

  2. And freezing assets of a dictator is a bad thing because??
    The only bad thing is that we did not do it a long time ago (same as other dirty money we have in our country).

  3. This also means the U.S cannot get the money either. In the current situation it is the best scenario to freeze it because nothing that would be done with the money can be legally justified until the abduction situation is resolved.

    Oh no… a dictator’s asset has been frozen… but trump is involved… oh no, I must support the liberation of the dictator and his hard earned money…

    Quelle honte. Critiquez la manière et pas le fond.

  5. It’s really embarrassing to be Swiss right now. We waited for ages and acted like defiant children when it came to freezing Russian assets but when it comes to supporting a terrorist regime we act like well-behaved dogs.

    And for what? So our companies get slightly less made up tarrifs and their CEOs don’t lose as much money. Not to start with the F-35 situation where we are buying planes where a country that is threatening Europe can just use a kill switch to ground them as they wish. Instead of being smart and reorienting ourselves on the global marketplace our Bundesrat prefers to make us more dependant on the enemy.

    Now how will Maduro be able to pay his bribe like the president of Honduras did to get “pardoned.”
