In the midst of the global Pandemic (Covid-19), many countries face problems in their economies, in addition to a large number of deaths from the Coronavirus.
In Venezuela, in comparison to other countries, cases of Covid-19 are considered minimal, this due to the strict measure of remaining in national quarantine, decreed by the National Executive.
However, regarding the economic issue, Venezuela is undoubtedly very vulnerable, since it is a country with very high hyperinflation, which has the population surviving day by day. As I quote below:
Venezuela has been experiencing a hyperinflation crisis since 2017, in the midst of which prices rise weekly and the local currency depreciates almost daily against other monetary signs such as the dollar, with abundant circulation in the country. source
The economic problems of Venezuelans have been coming for many years, with them arose the food shortages, the increase in informal workers, the increase in crime, the migration of Venezuelans to other countries, the school desertion, the lack of values, among others. In addition to all this, the struggle between government participants and opponents has worn down the entire population, for a long time, making misery and poverty prevail.
There is a large percentage of the Venezuelan population that decided to go to the streets to become informal merchants, becoming this in the way of bringing sustenance to their families. Incredibly as informal workers they earned much more than as professionals and educators of the Venezuelan educational system.
Well friends of Steemit, so as not to make your history too long, I want to emphasize that from the beginning of the quarantine, these workers cannot go out to work, and the price of the dollar greatly affects the price of the items in the basic food basket. .
Incredibly, a minimum wage is 250 thousand bolivars, while the price of a dollar reaches 200 thousand bolivars, food prices take a super high price, imagine the despair for a family that thinks that a month's salary will only reach them two packages of rice.
Although they are not the ways to reason before the problem, the Venezuelan people in different cities decided to go out to protest hunger.
In the middle of all the Covid-19 situation, imagine living the despair of not having food, a mother who does not have to feed her children.
I ask God to help our country, so that each and every family can have a plate of food, that the children can smile and we can survive this Pandemic.
Personally I have a lot of faith and trust in God, I pray every day for the well-being of the world, for my country, for my family, for my friends, neighbors, coworkers.
I try to share day by day the blessings that I receive from God my Lord, and it is incredible how they multiply not in wealth of money, but in spiritual greatness and love of my loved ones. Every day I feel the presence of God, and I ask God to help all those people who suffer from hunger.
