RE: ADSactly World - Venezuela and its current exodus
Hello @moniristi, the crisis in Venezuela is real, and countries like Colombia are starting to be affected due to the high number of Venezuelans leaving their country on a daily basis. The same happens with Brazil.
The Economist released a report not long ago, you can find it here
They knew that in Venezuela there are more than 8 million Colombians as a result of a civil war that has been going on for more than 50 years.
and for Venezuela it was never a problem to receive millions of Colombians... today thousands come out and it is difficult for Colombia to keep the situation under control.
In the news I saw my eyes on the president of Colombia Duque talking about the alleged problem of Venezuelans who are damaging the country's economy.
Those who harm Venezuela are the Colombians trafficking fuel that costs cents of a dollar and as in Colombia they sell fuel at international prices then they find it attractive that our gasoline is the cheapest in the world.
problem are the Colombians selling our money the Bolivar to change it at a convenient price to then convert it into dollars and then Colombian pesos and buy the food that is super subsidized and sell it in the interior of Colombia.
The problem is Colombia as the first producer of coca and other drugs that are carried with total normality with organs such as the DEA and the US army...
Please, sir... you kind of think you're just talking to gringos?..there are also Latinos. and that doesn't mean that there are things that are wrong in my country.

The number of Venezuelans leaving the country is incredibly high, these are not normal migration numbers, this is an exodus.
It is true there is a mafia at the border, but eliminating great part of it would be very easy, by getting rid of the absurd currency exchange control that was implanted in 2003 by the current government, most of the problems you mentioned regarding Colombia will cease to exist.
Venezuela has a distorted economy as a result of the absurd policies of the current government, the problem is the policies, the mafia is a consequence, not a cause.
Yes, Colombia has a huge drug problem, but Venezuela also has a drug problem with its current government involved with drug cartels. Drug in Colombia is mostly produced by guerrillas, which are kind of an ally to the current government in Venezuela.
