We took to the streets in order to take a closer look at the motor vehicle census 2018. We didn’t see long lines; but desinformation, political proselytism, confusion and fear of losing the little we have left.
Venezuelan military and police forces have become the worst type of authority: bullies with a badge. The government loves them, but society resents them.
We interviewed Juan Requesens a few days before he was snatched from home by the government's intelligence police. There's still no information of the young legislator's whereabouts.
The ANC has behaved the way we expected: as an instrument of political control. Nonetheless, will this political monster grow even more powerful against its enemies? Or against itself?
We could argue that there’s a powerful triad keeping the government in power. Decreasing population, money sent in by the diaspora and gubernamental handouts. It seems to be working, but for how long?
Trash is all around us in the fine city of Maracaibo. Mayor Willy Casanova won’t do anything about it, and people don’t know what to do with the trash. Or perhaps they do: burn it.
Enrollments in the military don’t fulfill the quota and soldiers’ salaries are insufficient. Apparently, only a few want to be part of the Venezuelan Armed Forces and participate in the country’s integral development.
“Hell on Earth” is how Maracaibo residents describe the city undergoing a terrible electricity crisis, unthinkable in any other modern nation. And you know what the government will do about it: absolutely nothing.
The witch hunt that’s just starting won’t distinguish between criminals and innocents.
Cuba pulled off one of the great intelligence feats of all times: gaining virtual control of a much larger, much richer country without firing a shot. So why did they let Venezuela collapse?
We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
