Acceptance Speech

Venezuela stole Haiti and Paraguay thunder with an emotional acceptance speech for the third prize as the most corrupt Latin America and Caribbean nation.

José Vicente Rangel, Foreign Affair Minister, called a press conference and totally lambasted Transparency International, the organization that released the Corruption Perceptions Index 2005. “I will make things clear. Countries pay in exchange of a good ranking. This institution is totally disqualified” an emotional Rangel declared to the press.

His speech was so moving that the actual winners, Haiti and Paraguay haven’t given one yet.
