98/100 Where are the airplanes?

A couple weeks ago, Rafael Ramirez (representative of the economic cabinet of Venezuela), said that the reason that there are no airplanes in the country was because the airlines were “diverting aircrafts due to the World Cup”.

The World Cup just ended, and now I ask, where are the airplanes? Clearly Ramirez wasn’t informed that Delta, American Airlines, Lufthansa, Air France and many other carriers have decided to reduce or suspend operations in Venezuela due to the debt the government owes them.

97100 Reminder

For those who have forgotten, today marks the fifth month of the Venezuelan protests.

96/100 Capriles

Henrique Capriles Radonski is a Venezuelan politician and lawyer, serving as Governor of Miranda since 2008. He was the opposition’s presidential candidate going against Chavez in 2012 and Maduro in 2013.

Capriles was the first political leader that was able to start to unify the opposition by using the “Hay Un Camino” (there is a path) political campaign, and has worked hand in hand with Leopoldo Lopez to free Venezuela from the current corrupt government.

Today Capriles celebrates his 42 birthday.

94/100 Delta

Delta Airlines drastically reduced service to Venezuela on Monday because of the ongoing dispute with the government over a large debt that is owed to the airline. This caused fliers to look to rebook seats in the few carriers that still serve the country.

Delta said it will be reducing 85% of the flights in and out of Venezuela starting August 1st.

82/100 Censored by Socialism

Today we honor all the journalists who have dedicated their lives to report and communicate reality, exchange opinions, and convey the feelings of the voiceless, to seek the truth, and not surrender their principles. Thanks to those who dedicate their lives to enforce their right to inform and communicate news even with all the censorship occurring in Venezuela.

The image above is a label used by the government for everything they execute, but instead of saying “Made in Socialism” it says “Censored by Socialism”, since censoring the news is one of the things that they have actually done.

Gracias a todos los periodistas que aun comunican la verdad.

68/100 Bassil

Four months ago in Caracas, Bassil Alejandro Da Costa, a 23 year old college student supporting the opposition became the first to be killed by pro-government movements during the protests. He is now considered a fighter for freedom and a national Hero to many Venezuelans.

We want to remind with this image, that while the world is playing for the world cup, in Venezuela students are fighting for their lives.

May he rest in peace.

66/100 Off Air

Comedian and television presenter Luis Chataing reported last night that his “ChataingTV” program was taken off the air by a decision made from the broadcasting channel Televen. Chataing mentioned through his Twitter account that this decision was made due to pressures from the government placed on Televen.

This is yet another element of proof of the government trying to censor information. ChataingTV was one of the few shows left that the opposition depended on to get the true side of information.

Chataing will be gathering today with Venezuelans at 5pm.

61/100 Shoot Me… I’m a student.

Knowledge and ideals have become the biggest weapons used against Nicolás Maduro’s regime. Government officials have attacked students, treating them as if they were criminals just for expressing their ideas and concerns in public. These attacks against Venezuelan students have added up to over 40 deaths, 835 wounded and about 2500 arrests, since February 2014.
