I want people to take a different perspective on their life and on that of others. Many times people who are in countries where there has never been a crisis, or who have economic weakness do not realize how lucky they are and all the opportunities they have to arise, it's a shame. Here in Venezuela with the repression, with the dictatorship, with the shortages and inflation we still have people willing to move forward, and I believe that if we can, anyone can.

the primary demerits they have is lack of education : in my opinion . Of course the policy , corruption and socio-economic conditions are making it even more bad.

That is (another) of the big problems we have here. Education is very bad, what suits the government. An ignorant people is easier to govern, ignorance dominates us more than by force.
They have endeavored to damage the educational system so that no one was enlightened and so can believe what they say

It always makes me feel graceful and blessed when people actually take the time to read, investigate and above all listen to what happens in Venezuela. I've made great friends in this social network, who also didn't know how things are for real, but they're always here to hug us.
Media doesnt show the truth. The crisis transcend the economic and political aspect, it goes from social to humanitarian.
Thanks for reading and resteeming, every grain of sand counts.

Main articles: Culture of Venezuela, Music of Venezuela, Sport in Venezuela, and Immigration to Venezuela
The joropo, as depicted in a 1912 drawing by Eloy Palacios.
The culture of Venezuela is a melting pot, which includes mainly three different families: The indigenous, African, and Spanish. The first two cultures were in turn differentiated according to the tribes. Acculturation and assimilation, typical of a cultural syncretism, caused an arrival at the current Venezuelan culture, similar in many respects to the rest of Latin America, although the natural environment means that there are important differences.
The indigenous influence is limited to a few words of vocabulary and gastronomy and many place names. The African influence in the same way, in addition to musical instruments like the drum. The Spanish influence was predominant (due to the colonization process and the socioeconomic structure it created) and in particular came from the regions of Andalusia and Extremadura, the places of origin of most settlers in the Caribbean during the colonial era. An example of this includes buildings, music, the Catholic religion, and language.
Spanish influences are evident in bullfights and certain features of gastronomy. Venezuela was also enriched by other streams of Indian and European origin in the 19th century, especially from France. In the latest stage in the major cities and regions oil of U.S. origin and manifestations of the new immigration of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, increasing the already complex cultural mosaic. For example, from United States comes the influence of taste for baseball, US-style fast food, and current architectural constructions.

Yes, foreign currencies help a lot here. The cryptocurrencies even more.
The president here wants to make a scam by creating a cryptocurrency called "Petro"
The petro is illegal, the petro is based on oil reserves of a country that every day produces less oil. The petro additionally is not a cryptocurrency, the petro is a debt title of a government in need of resources and what it is doing is practically one of its last efforts to try to make foreign currency. The Maduro regime agreed to the creation of the petro as part of a plan to avoid the effects of international sanctions; however, it is just another violation of the Constitution of Venezuela

Can you tell us more,
How did it come to power, who elected it and voted for it?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Ok, the story is a little long.
The tense situation that the country is experiencing today is a consequence of the errors of Chavismo.
Everything began since Hugo Chávez came to power (February 2, 1999).
His government has been characterized by improvisation and by not being up to the demands of citizens. With an additional problem: no electoral power. And it is at this point that the current crisis is born.
The roots of today's economic problems can be found in Chávez's efforts as early as 2001, to radically reorganize Venezuela's economy and politics. At the end of 2001 the agrarian reform and the reform legislation of the oil industry that touched the two most important sources of economic power of the elite were introduced. In reaction to this movement, the opposition launched the coup attempt of April 2002 and the closure of the oil industry in December of the same year. These efforts of political and economic destabilization led to a massive flight of capital in early 2003. Initially, the government tried to counteract capital flight by intervening in the foreign exchange market, using its dollars to buy the bolivar, with the order to keep it stable. However, this caused the Government to lower the foreign exchange reserves in dollars precipitously and thus abruptly changed gears and introduced a fixed exchange rate in March 2003.
Since then, the currency has been corrected and adjusted very rarely. Only those who meet government conditions to buy dollars with bolivars are allowed to do so.
A logical consequence of all this is that more and more goods began to be scarce at controlled prices and a massive inflation for unregulated goods. Already in the second term of Chávez in power, in 2006, the Government had begun to introduce price controls of the most essential goods, in order to counteract the tendency of retailers to put a price on things based on the exchange rate. of the black market instead of the official rate.
All these tendencies were accentuated when President Chávez died of cancer on March 5, 2013 and the new elections were held a little later, in April, which resulted in the election of Nicolás Maduro by a margin of victory of 1 , 5 percent (with electoral fraud). The wave of violence after the elections ended in the death of more than 1000 people, and this only made the perception of political and economic instability worse.
In other words, the current situation in Venezuela is the result, first of all, of the control of the exchange rate that was destined to defend the currency against the attempts of destabilization in 2002, which were the result of the attack of the Chávez government. the interests of the capitalist class. Secondly, a control of the already fragile exchange rate worsened as a result of the decrease in the price of oil in 2008 and again in 2014, which made it increasingly difficult for the Government to satisfy the demand for dollars without becoming more indebted. Third, the new destabilization efforts of the opposition against the Maduro Government, the day after the election of Maduro in April 2013 and again in early 2014, converted the existing economic volatility into a vicious circle of inflation, shortage, devaluation of the black market, and renewed inflation.
The situation is, therefore, very difficult for the Government and very frustrating for the population.
