With so many negative things happening in Venezuela, it is appropriate to stop, sit down and smile and enjoy the moment. German Garcia, who was kidnapped on February 25th. 2009, was liberated today by his captors, whomever they may be.
I know German, but I don’t know German, I probably know more about him through various family members that know him better than I do. And they all have always told me the same thing, the same impression I have always had, German is the veritable and certifiable nice guy, low key, hard working and responsible who lost almost twelve months of his life just because…
And those of us who wondered and worried where he was, are all as pleased and happy as could be that he is back, for him, for his family and for all decent Venezuelans that have to endure this irresponsible Government, who has allowed crime and kidnapping to thrive by its negligence.
To German, that he may return soon to the routine of his job and his family and his leadership at Fe y Alegria and all of those little details of life that I am sure he missed during his ordeal. Cheers!

This has to be the best news to come out of Venezuela in a long, long, time.
Welcome back, German.

As soon as some of the major players in Venezuela’s Bankster class started going down late last year it was clear that GGV was going to be released in short order. The Banksters were after VenCred, after all, and when the VenCred board wouldn’t sell, the negotiations stalled, is my guess. With some (not all) of the major crooks behind bars or on the lam, seems to me the lower-level guys, “los colombianos expertos en secuestros” as the media disingenuously describes them, the ones who carried out the kidnapping on contract for their Bolibanquero bosses decided, hey, we’re not going to get stuck holding the bag on this one, let’s settle for a few million and get out.
