[liberationtech] My Venezuela Post

Mon Jan 28 07:44:26 PST 2019

Lamento profundamente que la situación en Venezuela sea tan complicada que
dificulta su manejo por quienes no la viven aun con las mejores
intenciones. Me expresare en esta ocasión en español no porque crea que
hacerlo en ingles sea una carga injusta sino porque mi ingles no es muy
bueno y prefiero evitar esa "tortura" al grupo... 😹

Cuando vi el correo electrónico en cuestión pensé que fue desafortunado
pero comprendí de inmediato que se debe precisamente a lo complejo que es
la situación en un país donde por dos décadas nos hemos tristemente
acostumbrado a labores de inteligencia, espionaje, contraespionaje y una
mentalidad propia de militares en campaña aplicada a todas las esferas de
la vida civil.

Les pido comprensión junto a sus buenas intenciones, no se trata de que
estemos especialmente susceptibles, que así es en efecto, sino que hemos
sido victimas de un regimen totalitario que se ha mantenido en el poder
gracias a hacernos ver a nosotros mismos como enemigos, dividiendo
familias, enfrentando esposos, hermanos de sangre de manera literal, lo que
ha ocasionado un especial recelo que nos dificulta incluso recibir ayuda
para restituir nuestro debilitado tejido social.

Me uno a quienes les preocupa la situación social que económica en
Venezuela, siendo que la crisis de hiperinflación y la diáspora de
emigrantes son consecuencias y no causa de la misma, por ello, agradezco
tanto la ayuda y atención que nuestra crisis recibe en este momento a nivel
internacional, pues es esa atencion la que esta inclinando la balanza a
nuestro favor para dar fin a este ciclo.
