While the rest of the world relies on petitions to get in touch with elected officials, in Venezuela it appears things are done differently.

A woman recently got quick results on a housing issue after she got the president’s attention by hitting him on the head with a mango. The incident occurred last week in the state of Aragua, according to Reuters.

President Nicolas Maduro, a former bus driver, was driving a bus through a crowd when, out of nowhere, a ripe mango flew towards him, aimed straight at his head. The 52-year-old managed to dodge it but the fruit caught his. He then casually picked up the mango and displayed it to the crowd. Upon closer inspection, the mango revealed a message, “If you can, call me,” along with a name and phone number.


It was soon discovered that the mango was thrown by a woman named Marleny Olivo who had been facing housing problems for a long time. Tired of filing endless petitions with the government, she decided to adopt a more ‘direct’ approach. The trick worked. President Maduro soon discussed the incident during a live broadcast on live TV. He displayed the infamous mango and said: “She had a housing problem right? I have approved it already. As part of the Great Housing Mission of Venezuela, Marleny you will get an apartment and it will be given to you in the next few hours. Tomorrow, no later than the day after tomorrow, we will give it to you.”

Contacted by the media, Olivo said that she had no ‘evil intent’ when she threw the mango. She was only trying to fulfil her dream of owning a home before she dies.

Risky move if you ask me.
When next he's going sightseeing, he'd better used an amoured tank.
He won't believe the barrage of fruits that'll be coming his way.

Desperate desire, desperate measures.

lols!
