The conflict almost continues a month since it began with a string of street protests led by students and opposition leaders in Venezuela . And yesterday, as has become usual over the days , the center of Caracas again shows the scenes of struggle between the repressive government forces of Nicolas Maduro and protesters , determined to leapfrog to free the country from the disastrous legacy Chavez initiated a decade ago.
This protest ( which the Executive banned) was convened to reach the Ministry of Food with empty pots symbolizing prevailing shortages in supermarkets . Frustrated with the strategy of dialogue the opposition of the Democratic Unity Table (MUD ) initiated by Henrique Capriles Maduro who was beat in in elections last year that were called into question , has been a MUD sector supported by university students . Since on 12 February, things have taken a strong turn , convinced that the events that are reported in the social networks will be critical to generate a state of world opinion that could change the weight Balance against Maduro .
It is this change in strategy , led by the now arrested Leopoldo Lopez, Maria Corina Machado and Antonio Ledezma, and seconded by a reluctant Capriles that Venezuelans inside and outside the country have repeatedly discussed. After a month of caceroladas , guarimbas and marches have resulted in twenty dead , hundreds injured , many arrests and episodes of beatings at police stations.
Some argue that the cessation of daily living and the death of young protestors will not achieve that multiply knock over a repressor underpinned by the logistics provided by the Castro government regime. The perquisites enjoyed by the military and the complicity of many of the governments of Latin America , as it has been detached from the unsuccessful meeting of the OAS.
Ironically , despite the evidence of violation of human rights and harassment of independent media , most neighboring countries preferred to give a boost to Maduro.
“Bridging the huge gap with the Venezuelan drama until today has debated whether the Holocaust victims fought enough before boarding the trains that carried an inescapable death. I insist . It’s terrible when lambs discuss among themselves the value of their own silence or mutiny before slaughter ,” said a Carlos Rato a young protestor who was lynched by the police.
The question that many people from the precariousness of the barricade, is whether it is realistic to throw stones against Goliath. This is the debate that all evil despotic system leads the flock , moving the victims guilt.
