高盛集团因购买一直由委内瑞拉央行持有的债券，而遭到了该国反对党的强烈抨击（decried）。反对党领袖胡里奥﹒博格斯认为高盛此举无异于经济支援四面楚歌（crisis-torn）的独裁总统马杜罗，意图从委内瑞拉人民的苦难中赚笔快钱（make a quick buck off the suffering of Venezuelan people）。高盛的资产管理部门上周以约8.65亿美元的价格（相当于面值的31%）购买了价值28亿美元的委内瑞拉债券。这批债券是委内瑞拉国家石油公司(Petroleos de Venezuela SA, 简称PdVSA)在2014年发行的，将于2022年到期。反对党还称，打算建议委内瑞拉未来的任何民主政府都不要承认或偿还这些债券。
