Brain drain in Spanish mainly from the Venezuelan

So the Vice President of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, at an international conference uses Castro-Stalinspeak to hint at things to come, that news, right?

Anyone heard about fuga de cerebos?
“Queremos poner una alerta sobre la movilidad, porque la hemos sufrido. En Venezuela no solo sufrimos la fuga de cerebros (...), también sufrimos el robo de cerebros”, aseguró Arreaza.
Explicó que Venezuela formó a esos talentos con recursos públicos y los preparó en el extranjero “con divisas del pueblo venezolano, y luego se quedaron en el exterior”.
Por ello, reclamó que “cualquier estrategia de movilidad de estudiantes, de investigadores, de profesores” esté “muy bien regulada para que efectivamente vayan esos profesionales donde de verdad haya la necesidad y no se queden amparados en ese tipo de desarrollo de otros países en otras partes del mundo”.
Loosely translated using rudimentary Spanish, we'd say that Venezuela is about to announce that anyone educated in Venezuela, or even outside the country, owes the Maduro government.

In other words, there'll be no free agents. Everyone belongs to the state. The way it was in East Germany in happier times.

  1. The elected thugs of Venesuela have designated all V's and all those educated in V as peasants of the V-State.

    Why is there that self imposed limitation? If V has that power, then why not designate anyone it wishes as being a peasant of the V-State? Why the limitation to education or place of birth. If V has the power, why not flaunt it.

    North Korea doesn't limit itself.
