As financial problems continue in Venezuela, it's estimated that roughly 90 percent of the population is living in poverty.
Reports suggest that the current government regime in the region has been allegedly enticing people to vote in exchange for food. And some allege that this is how the president has managed to stay in power, despite the growing economic and political issues etc that the country faces which have occurred and been seemingly exacerbated under his watch.
One recent poll that was conducted by Meganalisis, suggests that many Venezuelans are only getting to eat one time per day, roughly 30 percent.
More than 80 percent favor intervention in the country...
Military intervention, which is what some have proposed as a response to the crisis, is a move that certainly wouldn't benefit the people in the region and likely make things much worse for them.
The same poll estimates that roughly 20 percent say they would eventually leave the country if Maduro continues to remain in power and the economic situation doesn't get any better.
As far as turning to military intervention as a solution to the problem, there are at least 10 countries so far, including Chile and Brazil, that have issued a statement, asserting that they reject the notion of turning to military intervention as a response to the Maduro crisis.

I am Venezuelan and every time I read these post my soul hurts, it is true we are going through a great economic crisis, there are people going hungry and needs and every day this gets worse, since the president took measures in August removing 5 zeros to our currency everything has worsened there are not many foods and the prices are higher, more Venezuelans leave the country for a better future and the worst thing is that nobody does anything and the dis pass as if nsda pass.
Already my son left and my daughter is arranging her papers to also emigrate, as a mother it hurts but it is the only way out so far so that my youngest daughter and I can survive since what I do in steemit to change does not give me to buy many things.
Grateful with this post, Reesteem

What are people saying about the Petro there? It's a state issued "crypto currency" that's supposed to be backed by the Venezuelan oil reserves.

According to that, it will help us with the crisis, but as a Venezuelan who goes out and sees the shelves of the empty supermarkets, I do not see improvements, the one that has those coins does not know where they will be spending them.

Venezuela needs liberty. Economic freedom means opportunity to create wealth. Personal liberty means being free to live according to their conscience.
The US needs those same things, too. It's just that our consequences of government infringement of such freedoms have not been that bad yet.

These surveys are so close or are the reality that is lived in Venezuela today in the last few days there have been strong economic measures for the country there is much more inflation than there were already in addition many people have lost their jobs
I am from Venezuela and every day I thank God for the food that I bring to my mouth many Venezuelans do not have that joy of eating at least one AREPA
The truth is that STEEMIT has been a great help for us Venezuelans, but lately the inflation is so hard that you need to change many Steem to get some bolivares and go buy something to eat
