More serious than the political, economic and social tragedy that Venezuela suffers is that we Venezuelans lose hope in a a different and better future.
The Barinas thing can have many readings, and among them it ends up being a vaporous illusion. For now, the expectations and interests of various political sectors have been inflated. It is not the first time, of course.
The scheme of overcoming the despotic and predatory hegemony with the decoration of a electoral democracy, in my opinion, does not work. More than twenty years point this out.
The hegemony has managed to deploy a project of domination, which is above the popular will expressed in those «votes». The most notorious example was the opposition victory in the 2015 parliamentary elections, which shipwrecked its aspirations for effective change, and which has become pseudo-legal gibberish, which is very difficult to understand. And in which patrimonial questions are not secondary.
And it is one thing for the ruling party to recognize a defeat, and another thing is for the hegemony to accept the right to govern of those who have been proclaimed winners.
These Venezuelan times are tragic, I repeat, and the overwhelming rise of covid, in a country dismantled of its public health services, is perhaps the most dramatic component of the humanitarian catastrophe.
The evil propaganda of the hegemony leaves us out in the open. It cannot be that neighboring countries register more than 20,000 new daily cases of covid, at present, and the official figure of the hegemony, which came to recognize less than 200 daily cases of contagion, now accommodates a little more than 1,000.
This shows an absolute disregard for the truth and for human rights. That contempt is repeated in all orders of national life.
Will better times come? They will come! But you have to fight tirelessly to make it so. Hope, based on Venezuelan history and an understanding of reality, is vital for better times to come to our country.
