The Venezuelan State, and everything that touches, especially the security forces, conspire against people. The State has a life of its own despite the people, and by controlling natural resources lives without really caring about the streets.
The problems in Venezuela are not due to lack of capacity or training, they are due to lack of will.
If similar situations occurred in Germany, the results would be different, because the wealth of Germany does not reside in natural resources but in human resources, as in all of Europe or North America, so they are disparate situations that can not be compared. From there to tyrants in developed countries are more destructive and oppressive than the tyrants of less developed countries.
I am not pessimistic about the future of Venezuela, as they say, the longest day must have its end, what must happen will happen, nature is not unfair.
Good that you say that. People actually get kind of pessimistic reading and seeing what is bad in the world. We need to attach some hope to it.
