[liberationtech] My Venezuela Post

[Cristina (99)]

What i don't see as something friendly -and sorry about it- is to
discuss this terrible moment in English.
I know the list is in that language, but a lot of us are South
Americans, living this from Latin America, and having to translate our
opinions (even between us) to a foreign language. I feel it a bit weird,
sorry again.
And this is sooo strong for us (as imply a key point to all the region)
that it's very difficult to express it in English. At least It's one of
the reasons I remain in silence.

Best,

Cristina (99)
