[PRESSTV] Sources in Venezuela have indicated that Rafael Ramirez, the country’s representative to the United Nations...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
in New York, has been removed from his job.
Four sources with knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday that Ramirez, once known as Venezuela’s oil czar and a former powerful politician, was dismissed by the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
"He was fired last night," said a source who asked to remain anonymous. A Separate source in Venezuela’s office at UN headquarters said Ramirez had yet to be notified of his removal and was normally working at the UN on Wednesday.
Two other sources said Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza travelled to New York this week, with one of them saying Ramirez had tried to fight back his way to office but was simply unable.
