Diosdado Cabello questions the salaries of the royal family in his television program
God given hair He attacked the Spanish monarchy again during his television program ‘Con el Mazo Dando’, which Chavista television broadcasts every Wednesday for more than three hours of prime time. On this occasion, the number two of the Bolivarian revolution chose a tweet from @the world is to, with his usual sarcastic style, ironize about Western democracies.
“Spain, THE WORLD. Philip VI will win this year €259,000 nothing else, income. A very busy, hard-working guy. Queen Leticia gets 142,000 euros and Queen Sofía 116,525. Salaries will go up 2%… Reyes, then,” Cabello represented, with the label #ChavezEsPatriaLibre and leaning on his dreaded billboard, a board on which Paste clippings from media or social media headlines.
