I don’t care about Maduro, as far as I’m concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It’s a collective hangover, a horrible one.
It’s 2016 all over again. It’s seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it’s more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.
This is far from improving, and we know it.
Colombia is more vulnerable but it hasn’t developed a lobby like Venezuela and Cuba have.
Sheinbaum in Mexico and Lula in Brazil are later in the itinerary but they’re going to be more difficult. Especially Brazil now that Bolsonaro is in jail.
