Informative Memories - From a dream to a nightmare in Venezuela



 

The country with the liberating dream of Latin America sinks into the chaos and despair of the Venezuelan people.



The same dreamer al Libertador Simón Bolivar, with influences of the French Revolution, dreamt with a Latin American free of ignorance, boosting the Venezuelan Revolution. However, todays Venezuela is falling apart.


El Universal - October 4th 2016
Washington. - highlighting the crisis in which Venezuela is plunged as the worst registered case this year in Latin America- projecting that there will be no change in 2017- the International Monetary Fund (IMF) confirmed its pessimism towards the region, after publishing its detailed analysis detailing the economic activity of the country.
“The economic activity in Latin America and the Caribbean continues to slow down”, pointed the IMF in its World Economic Outlook report.
Out of all analyzed countries the agency maintains its negative perspectives towards Brazil, which will shrink 3,3%, and Venezuela, protagonist of the worst crisis in the region, which will shrink an astronomical 10% although in 2017 it will be reduced to 4,5%.
Anticipates that for this year the inflation will continue unabated: a 475,8%, figure that will be dwarfed with the 1.660% anticipated for 2017.
The unemployment rate will increase as well, from the current 18,1% to 21,4% in 2017.
The financial agency expect that the Venezuelan economic crisis will “deepened” in 2017 worsened by the prolonged fall of prices in crude oil which generates a drought in foreign exchange in a country dependable on its crude oil, in addition to importing most of what they consume.






Since 2016 the possible rise in inflation in the Venezuelan country has been forecast as well as insecurity and lack of resources in the country. Although this decay began to be a warning to the country in 2012 and with many ignoring the problem that was coming to them, now the problem is not a problem, it is a crisis. This, began from the closure of private companies, financial crisis, shortage not only of food but also medicines, incredible rise in inflation, rising unemployment.







An example such as the famous actress and ex Miss Venezuela of 2004, Monica Spear Mootz was killed at the age of 29 when in the vehicle she was with her little girl and her husband, Thomas Henry Berry. The crime was committed by two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, when the vehicle broke down. This happened last April 2015. The insecurity left Maya Berry Spear orphaned.

SAFETY FORCES PRODUCING INSECURITY

The saddest thing about the situation in Venezuela is that since 2015 there have been double the number of victims at the hands of the security corps of Venezuela, the numbers already rising to 460. Also, the report of police raids reached 17.215, in 2015. Of course, this figure has increased until these days and unfortunately the exact data is unknown.



The desperate shout of Venezuela, victim of a dictatorship that increasingly takes more lives to its pass. Students and demonstrators are accused of being terrorists and even crooks.



In the meantime, it’s been impossible, even for the UN, to collect data and statistics inside Venezuela because the goal of leader Maduro, is to avoid "defamation" with facts that shout and acclaim help both inside and out.


"We have received credible reports of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees by the security forces, which could be defined in several cases as torture," Office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told a news conference that "these were not isolated cases".


"The interviews conducted suggest that in Venezuela there has been widespread and systematic use of excessive force and arbitrary arrests of demonstrators."


 

"The team's findings indicate a pattern of other human rights violations, including violent searches of homes, torture and ill-treatment of detainees in connection with the protests."
There are witnesses who tell how security forces such as the Bolivarian National Guard and the Bolivarian National Police as well as the local police, have their hands stained  with blood.
"They have systematically used disproportionate force to inspire fear, silence dissidents and prevent demonstrators from meeting."
As far as I know, fire does not go out with more tares and charcoal ... At least in the midst of mourning the loss of who knows how many people, students, children, nephews, doctors, opposition politicians, fathers and mothers of families, who still rise against tyranny.



MADURO IS DRIVING VENEZUELA TO PERDITION.



And the leader, if you can call this person as such, washes his hands like Pilate, accompanied by sanctions by the United States, then he uses it as a cheap excuse of not being able to feed the people while he draws, from who knows where, resources for Cuba which was affected by Hurricane Irma. You can see the double standards in these gentlemen and ladies. Endure a facade of being tidy and impeccable when the inside is rotting, taking with them young people’s dreams down the sink, children will soon see the parents having to remove them from school because it becomes increasingly more difficult that the minimum wage will be enough to get food (if they find it) much less for school. The next generation, the light of tomorrow is stagnating without being able to have one of the fundamental rights, access to education, becoming only available to the privileged few with money.




  


Wait a minute. Is not that part of capitalism? Is it not supposed that communism welcomes the weakest to share what they have such as a good education among other things? That was in the past, now this communism that the bus driver leads is a utopian, selfish and unscrupulous communism for letting the full twenty-first century Venezuela join more in the decline. And that of what’s yours is mine and mine is yours only applies if you agree with the regime, otherwise nothing. The worst of the situation does not stay like this, the issue continues with censorship and the desire to silence, no matter what, anyone who does not agree with the plans, ideas, and regime of what is now the dictator of Venezuela. 




What its people are lacking, he gives away to others.

Yes, just as you’ve read, despite all the chaos that you have seen above, he gives the Caribbean the food its own Venezuelan people need, gives everything to others leaving its people starving, without insulin and apparently without enough black gold.
