Hugo is providing them with oil at discounted rates. So if it is true that neighboring countries are improvong, some of it is due to Hugo;s economic policies.

Ask yourself this, Andrew - what could that billion dollars Hugo wasted trying to buy a seat on the security council have done for the people of his country?
