As a native Venezuelan I keep well informed about the political
and social tragedy taking place in our country. Therefore I am shocked by the
hypocritical posture of some political leaders who define themselves as
progressives. Prominent figures of the Democratic Party such as Bernie Sanders,
Tulsi Gabbard, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and, particularly, Ilhan Omar, have
taken sides with the Nicolas Maduro dictatorship, using arguments that are
clearly ideological, without basis in Venezuelan reality. When behaving in this
manner they go against the principles they profess to cherish: protection of
the poor, better health and education services, true democracy. How can they
support regimes such as Maduro’s, a functional illiterate, indoctrinated in
Castro’s Cuba, a cruel and illegitimate dictator, in the name of their love for
the masses? Don’t they know that Venezuela has been run into the ground by
sadistic autocrats like Chavez and Maduro? Don’t they know that Venezuelans are
being cruelly repressed, that they have been suffering under an inflation of 2
million percent per year and are going hungry, without being able to meet their
most essential needs? Have they not heard that this suffering has been going on
for 20 years, due to the pretension of these dictators to convert what once was
a true democracy into a replica of Cuba’s political nightmare?....
