The disenchantment of a country that does not stop repeating itself

in #history6 years ago


Juan Vicente Gomez, venezuelan dictator

1920. the prison of La Rotunda, a well-known and infamous prison of Venezuela, sometimes as distant as strange and sometimes so close that it scares: Could it be that deep down? Venezuela never entered in the XX century, much less in the XXI, such a question is motivated by an idea: never has changed in Venezuela in terms of cultural, political, social.
  1. The economic conditions suffered by Venezuela, which is only a matter of time to fall into default, as its creditors cannot pay debts that were never known for what they were acquired and less, where they were invested.

A country that produces nothing because more than 80% of its industrial and commercial park is in a situation of closure or bankruptcy.

A country where electric service is on the verge of collapse and Venezuelans must deal daily with long falls of the electrical system.

A country where food is increasingly scarce and expensive and where there are already cases of death due to decline and looting of food establishments and stores.

A country where political prisoners abound everywhere and where citizen protest is a crime.

A country where crime rules at ease, even from prisons, where there is 98% impunity.

A country governed by a class of military and militants of the left (or at least pretend to be so), accused of being drug traffickers, terrorists and accomplices of international criminal organizations.

A country where education produces functional illiterates, who become ignorant not only on culture, but of the basic norms of social coexistence and a deep crisis of human values, where dignity is already an animosity and every time we see that the Anarchy of the strongest governs human relations.

A country where they have returned diseases that were believed eradicated from the planet, not to mention that neither in clinics, hospitals, clinics or pharmacies there are medicines. A country where dictatorship is spoken of, where there is no freedom of expression or of thought, both being criminalized.

Such a country is not close to the 21st century, but to 1920.

In these conditions, no other feeling is possible than disenchantment, pain, sadness.
