A perfect example of a failed socialist state - from the Latin American Herald Tribune:
EXCLUSIVE: Venezuela Being Evicted from Consulate in Miami
Venezuela is facing eviction from the offices of its Miami Consulate after not paying the rent since August, court records uncovered by the Latin American Herald Tribune Thursday show.
According to the court filings, Venezuela was given a 3 Day Notice to Pay the Rent and Cure the Defects or deliver the property on February 7.
"Defendant refuses to do either," say the lawyers in their filing for eviction a week later. Venezuela owes $142,118.70 and hasn't paid its rent since August 2017.
After Venezuela refused to pay or vacate the premises, the owners TWJ 1100, LLC filed the eviction lawsuit in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court seeking "judgment for possession of the property" and "damages, costs, attorney fees and such further relief as the Court deems just and proper."
The article goes on to give some detail including the information that Miami is home to the largest Venezuelan exile community in the U.S., largely made up of citizens who oppose the Maduro regime. Having an embassy there is critical to its citizens and the Maduro government can not afford to pay the rent.
