It was once a beautiful and prosperous country, with beautiful landscapes, natural resources, gold, black gold (oil), its working citizens, with desire to excel, living in democracy and accustomed to receiving their full salary in cash.
Until twenty years ago, this country, let's call it "Little Venice", was considered the Wonderland ", but at the arrival of a man with leftist ideas, being a wolf disguised as a sheep, with a very populist double discourse, he attracted to many humble people, who saw him as a Messiah and obtained an overwhelming majority to win the Presidency of the Republic.
This was the beginning of the Adventures in Wonderland, where you do not live, you survive, where a minimum wage plus food bonus, is not even half of what a chicken costs,where food is scarce and expensive, you can not get all the medicines, they ration your electrical energy up to three times a day for several hours.
All this has led to the deterioration of the quality of life, living in this country is an adventure in Wonderland
