Mindful of the need to establish credibility in his new, high-profile job, BCV-president Eudomar Santos Tovar wasted no time telling a massive, disprovable-with-a-five-second-google-search whopper of a lie today.

Really Eudomar!? 58 straight quarters of growth?! Did you sleep through 2009-2010!? The 2000 recession, no? Doesn’t ring any bells? The 2002-2003 recession? Tampoco?

(FILES) Venezuelan presidential pre-candidates for the opposition, Henrique Capriles (L) and Maria Corina Machado, attend a signing ceremony of the document "Common Principles of the Minimum Program of Government of Change, Unity, and National Restructuring" at Chacaito Theater in Caracas on August 4, 2023. Venezuela's Supreme Court, loyal to President Nicolas Maduro's government, on Friday January 26, 2024 disqualified opposition leader Maria Corina Machado -- who handily won a 2023 primary vote -- from seeking election this year. The court upheld a 15-year ban on Machado, 56, from holding public office, and also confirmed the ineligibility of a possible opposition stand-in -- two-time presidential candidate Henrique Capriles.
