Dear Journalists,
My thoughts and prayers are with the people from Ecuador
after the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake of April 16, 2016. I read and watched on CNN that the
Venezuelan government had sent food aid to the earthquake victims. Under regular circumstances I would applaud
this action. However, I got very upset after following the cries and
complaints from loved ones in Venezuela who are not able to get food, nor basic
needs at the empty grocery stores.
I posted on Twitter:
Irresponsible Venezuelan gov sending food aid to Ecuador
after earthquake‼ Venezuelans have no food nor basic needs!
Some readers called me a person with lack of compassion.
I am aware that most of the world population does not follow the political
disaster in Venezuela and it became difficult to explain on Twitter.
Please know that most of Venezuelans must make outrageous
lines to get food supplies, and basic needs. Only a minority upper class can
buy supplies through “bachaqueros” who bring food to their homes at a much
higher price.
Infamous Nicolas Maduro who is overweight and as reported does not have a high school education
rushed to send food aid to Ecuador instead of looking out after Venezuelan
citizens. In 2008 under late Hugo Chavez hundreds of tons of food went to waste
after the inept import laws kept food inside containers until it spoiled
rotten.
Venezuelans need help
from world leaders to assure the safety of the opposition leaders, and from the
International Court of Justice to resolve abuse of power in Venezuela and
restore democracy.
Cordially,
Maru
