A Venezuelan Tragedy
As the year comes to an end, the demise of social order in Venezuela is the chronicle of a foretold death. Though 2016 began with high expectations of a peaceful change in government, neither the Maduro administration nor the opposition have shown the courage and leadership needed to find common ground and to pull the country out of the deep hole it finds itself in. Unfortunately for Venezuelans, who are deeply suffering from the economic, social and political chaos, they have little to look forward to in 2017.

En medio de una crisis política y un conflicto institucional sin precedentes en Venezuela lo que más preocupa al venezolano de a pie es la comida. Una cosa ha terminado estando a atada a la otra. Sin cambios políticos no habrá recuperación económica en Venezuela, y sin ésta no habrá de nuevo acceso a los alimentos.

La revolución que no fue
Estamos en medio de lo que es la más severa crisis, dicen mis amigos historiadores, desde el siglo XIX venezolano. Esta crisis es una herencia directa del chavismo, como modelo político, económico y social. Padecemos las consecuencias de un proyecto fracasado. Se trató de una revolución, sólo en el discurso, y termina hoy el país en una suerte de involución en todo sentido.
