Venezuelan woman: “We didn't vote for you, Guaido. Trump, stop f*cking us over.” (2019)
On March 11, I took a walk around Plaza Bolivar, Caracas, with Paul Dobson of Venezuelanalysis.com.
He explained that some of the buildings in this beautiful square had been abandoned, that the government restored them, turning them into theatres, with a very cheap entrance fee, providing cultural activities.
I asked about a sign I saw about Wifi, he said normally it was working but due to the power outage not that day.
Life was as I remembered it from 2010, perhaps fewer people since the metro wasn't running, but otherwise much the same.
I returned another evening with a friend and the plaza was even busier, kids playing, adults talking. That friend said every time he'd been there random people would come up to him and without introduction start in with their political views.
On March 11, as we walked from the square, we came across a group of people chanting 'long live Maduro' to a tv journalist from Catia tv, a poor urban sector of Caracas.
Excerpts of what they were saying to the camera:
Woman: “We didn't vote for you, Guaido. We're not a North American colony. We're not Colombia. Respect Venezuela. The US wants to steal our resources. Trump, stop fucking us over.”
Man: “Our president, Nicolas Maduro, the constitutional president of Venezuela, should be hard against Guaido. He should be arrested for violating the constitution. We in Venezuela will solve our own problems.”
Other woman, passionately saying President Maduro needs to be tougher, Guaido and the US backers are ruining the country.
