MORE OF THE SAME

in #busy6 years ago
Venezuela moves towards its total bleed. The country does not find how to stop so many hemorrhages. Hunger continues to overwhelm the population not only because of the high prices of food, but of all products, goods and services in general. The shortage of medicines is brutal. The educational institutes at all levels show high levels of student and labor absenteeism, which translates into greater desertion, resignations of teachers and professors¹. The crisis in outpatient clinics and hospitals is devastating. People die at the doors of the "welfare" centers before the look full of pain not only of their relatives, but of the doctors and nurses who fight against the human current, lacking supplies and medicines to try to save lives. Crime and corruption are immersed in the depths of the "State", to the point that the military and police are found responsible for smuggling and kidnapping. Why talk about politicians?

The water disappeared from the faucets of most houses and apartments, which also extends to the rest of the institutions of a practically dismantled society. Blackouts that were only registered in the interior of the country, have also reached the so-called great Caracas, and the best excuse that continues to be given by the president of the National Electric Corporation is the "terrorist sabotage", which probably places us as the country with greater number of attacks by such causes. The delays in the Caracas Metro are repeated almost daily and at any time, some due to the electrical faults themselves, as well as negligence and abandonment of preventive and corrective maintenance in their structures, rails, computer systems, wagons, and even by absence of qualified personnel. The oil industry is still in decline according to the latest report from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) ² although our "authorities" say otherwise. The most serious of all this issue is that they are also registering mass resignations in Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) which ends up aggravating the panorama that is coming for the once powerful oil industry in the international field.

The future is increasingly dark. Hyperinflation continues to increase in the middle of closing businesses, industries and businesses that simply decided not to re-activate their doors in 2018. The loss of jobs in alarming. Not only because of the cessation of productive activities, but because people give up their work because it is no longer profitable to work, while others are desperately emigrating from this barbarism. The economic and financial sanctions that have been unleashed against the Maduro government do not leave him much room for maneuver, which is why he even knows that an oil embargo against PDVSA is coming, and for that reason he already insinuates it in his speeches.

And why does it happen that the crisis continues to deepen in all areas and levels of the country? Maduro and the ruling elite have the answer. Moreover, they know that by advancing the presidential election on April 22, all the economic and social hardships will multiply over the country. Venezuela will be practically isolated from the whole world. How does neo-totalitarianism pretend to govern without its "president" being recognized by the most important countries in the world, including those of Latin America? To think that China and Russia will succeed in raising the economy of the country afloat, is like thinking that a minimum wage in Venezuela, any worker can eat even a week.

Venezuela is bleeding, and that blood for now only manifests itself in the political, economic and social order in international sanctions, bankruptcy of the entire national productive apparatus and an emigration of millions of Venezuelans. Does the madurismo think that blood will only remain a metaphor? The truth is that the complex situation with Maduro in power will only lead to the country until the civil war, and on that potential and bloody episode that lurks the only incentive that we have left, in the middle of the pain that we will have to suffer for the loss of thousands of human lives, is that the traitor will come out of power, because in the end will be defeated by the people. About being blind. Anyone with eyes to see.
