La invasión consentida

There is much talk and opinion about the relationship that began to be established between Cuba and Venezuela after the arrival of Hugo Chávez to power. Throughout two decades -and on a scale hardly imaginable- the Castro regime has operated in a good part of the strategic sectors of Venezuela, receiving enormous economic benefits and accumulating more and more political power. Today Cuba exercises a decisive influence on the very powerful Venezuelan armed forces, controls the country's main social programs, manages the citizen identification office and is aware of every civil and commercial transaction in the registries and notaries. It also has a detailed overview of the oil industry, the national electricity system, and a very complete map of mineral reserves. With extraordinary journalistic discipline and narrative pulse, The Consensual Invasion is an exciting story that reveals an unprecedented phenomenon in times of peace: the handover of sovereignty from one country to another.
