RE: ADSactly World - Venezuela and its misconception about democracy
This is friend, excellent post, Democracy should be is the government of the people, by the people, for the people. It would be foolish to pretend that the people can not make political mistakes. You can commit them, and serious. The people know and pay the consequences; but compared to the errors that have been committed by any kind of autocracy, these others are unimportant. Democracy is the process that guarantees that we are not governed better than we deserve. My country has something wonderful that people from other countries should know as we have the highest waterfall in the world, we have the ice cream with more flavors of the world, we have beach, plains, desert and we lack very little in this blessed land. We have oil, tourism but very bad governors who seek their own benefit and many people with a lack of culture.
MY FREE COUNTRY ALMOST ALL LATIN AMERICA TODAY LEAVE US ONLY
I agree Venezuela has a lot of potential. But the people's mentality needs to change.
That store in Merida closed last year because they didn't have enough resources to keep functioning. I am not sure if they have reopened, but I don't think they will until the current crisis is resolved.
Natural resources aren't everything. In order to prosper it is necessary to have a correct order that Venezuela has been lacking for a few decades.
The oil is useless if the government steals its revenue.
Tourism in Venezuela is pretty much destroyed. Having cities as insecure as Caracas drives tourism away. But when the crisis is finally resolved I am sure Venezuela could become a 5 star touristic destination.
