Ángel Rangel: "La ayuda tras el sismo falla por desidia gubernamental"

How has the State responded to the worst recent seismic crisis? 🚨 Engineer Ángel Rangel, former director of Civil Protection, analyzes the impact of the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes in Venezuela and the alarming ineffectiveness of the emergency response system. Following the troubling testimonies gathered in areas such as Guarenas, La Guaira, and Chacao (Caracas), the risk management expert explains the structural reasons behind the State's absence and deficiencies during this critical time. Rangel argues that the profound humanitarian crisis plaguing the country has left fire departments, public hospitals, and Civil Protection without even the most basic operational equipment or structural funding, prioritizing investment in military security over disaster relief. During the interview, the controversial official handling of volunteer work and the delayed registration process during the crisis are also discussed, as well as the chronic failures of electricity and internet services that hinder rescue efforts, and the challenges of coordinating the nearly 20 international aid missions that have arrived in the country. An urgent X-ray of a system that collapsed in the face of the emergency.
