El chavismo no ha podido quebrar al venezolano: el vínculo comunitario resiste | ESPECIAL ESGOI

ESGOI INTERVIEW: In this conversation with Mirla Pérez, sociologist, professor at the Central University of Venezuela, and director of the Center for Popular Research, we discuss the crisis in Venezuela, poverty, Venezuelan migration, the impact of Chavismo on society, and the silent strength of grassroots communities. With nearly 8 or 9 out of every 10 Venezuelans living in poverty, a basic food basket costing over $500 and even $1,000 a month, salaries and pensions in cents of a dollar, and a diaspora of more than 9 million Venezuelans, Venezuela faces one of the deepest social crises in its history.
