 Courtesy translation-> In his latest government reform, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has shown the role that the military plays within him. There are ten ministers in uniform – three of them vice presidents – and they occupy key positions, to which they have added that of Mining, since last August 20.

The response that has prevailed in Venezuela has been military in nature, over a system that prioritizes the medical, technical, and scientific approach. One example is health minister Carlos Alvarado’s absence in press briefings. There are still parts of the country that are militarized to control the population, as we’ve seen in low-income sectors, and there’s also the use of armed irregulars, as is the case of the curfew installed in 23 de Enero (western Caracas). With this, they want to dominate, hide discontent and impose a single message: the pandemic is under control. By Gabriela Mesones Rojo. Full Text-> Caracas Chronicles
