Hello! I am Jon velasquez, a young man of 23 years and today is twenty-four of May 2018 and it has been a couple of days since I decided to write my book and also many disappointments, because, some things have happened, including knowing that I will never be able to publish my book because of the lack of material in the editorials, in addition to the lack of personnel in the national library to register my book and the absence of copyright, but the most important of this is the "victory" of the presidential candidate Nicolás maduro Moros ... Six more years of bad decisions, and in my case I decided to leave my beloved land although I do not know how I could do it if I do not have money to support mysthere, is no turning back and if this book can help me to fulfill this unpleasant goal, so be it. Like many Venezuelans who decide to go and try their luck in the surrounding lands.
Sometimes the stress we endure after seeing how our beloved Venezuela falls through our own hands and our situation becomes emotionally and physically unbearable. It is difficult for me to leave my family being very attached to them, it is difficult and understanding that all of us who live here experience every day the growing loss of what we used to call "quality of life". Sometimes I would like to simply stay asleep and never get up from sleep where all this mess never happened, I would like to forget about reality and distract myself while I try to make a plan that works and it is an idea that persecutes me in the meridians, approaching the news and to observe that lies flow like a spring of clear water because the only transparency they have is in which they let their lies be seen, or to enter the splendor of the Internet and its "social" networks that are rather isolating for society, they separate you from yours even if you have them in front of you. Inevitably we are hit by chaos in which our country is immersed and for many young people the solution is migration.
And for this date is not just a mere youthful whim to go out and visit other countries, a lot of cases is not about looking for a better future for ourselves but rather to find support and sustenance for our families Unfortunately for one reason or another they want to stay. Before they were only people who could not practice their profession and decided to emigrate in order to work what they studied, thus depriving the country of elites vital for its development. What began with that migration of professionals has progressively become a mass phenomenon of all social sectors and the poorest have to do it in the most hostile conditions imaginable.
I had read somewhere about a survey of Living Conditions (Encovi for its sigls in Spanish), that the Migrations that were handled until now were more than a million and a half people until now, but almost eighty percent of the recent emigration has left during the years 2016 and 2017. And they calculate that in this year 2018 the number could be around 3 , 4 million, which would place it in almost ten percent of the total population of the country, and this friends of mine is no small thing. Slowly decreases the purchasing power as if it were water in a desert. Hyperinflation, the shortage of food and medicine, widespread violence, the clear violation of human rights is something of the day to day and worse than that is that every time we take less importance, and ultimately the lack of opportunities are some of the reasons that have caused the motive of the forced trip of the Venezuelans that has separated an unimaginable number of families and, in some way, becomes like that avalanche that catches you and will not stop. It is impressive how all this movement of kind people has attracted the attention of different international organizations. In recent days, I do not remember exactly, the United Nations World Food Program showed some very specific images about the exodus of Venezuelans when they qualified it as the country with the greatest migration from America, especially to Cúcuta in search of food and medicines. . Previously, the United Nations refugee program (UNHCR) had encouraged the countries of the world to guarantee protection to Venezuelans who migrate so that they have access to the territories and the procedures to request asylum in refugee status. The European Union has offered the Colombian government economic assistance to receive Venezuelan migrants, and the OAS has committed to work jointly with Brazil, to name just a few recent efforts.
The sister countries closest to our border are those most affected by migration; Colombia first, then Brazil. This explains the permanent statements of the president of Colombia on the need to solve the political crisis in Venezuela as the only way to face the serious problem that is for his country the presence of hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan refugees. The foregoing explains that Venezuela concentrates the attention of the various multilateral and regional organizations, which is complicated by the resounding refusal of the Venezuelan government to recognize the dramatic dimensions of this exodus of millions, locked up as it is in a bubble of falsehoods that prevents the search for solutions and leads them to confront the most varied international organizations.
In this way, Venezuelan migration, undoubtedly one of the most painful manifestations of national devastation, is paradoxically an important component of international, regional and especially its neighboring countries' pressure for a solution to the Venezuelan crisis and one of the expressions more obvious to judge the destabilizing danger of a poorly planned Venezuelan revolution on the region.
With nothing more to say, I say goodbye, a big hug to my Venezuelan brothers who leave our amad venezuela to work for their families!
