friend. Been here for 53 years. Talks to mother and sibs daily.
Says state is drug cartels led by Maduro and the rest. The rest live on a barter or point system.
My sister in law is from Maracaibo. Her father was once Minister of Health.
Both are very concerned about Maduro who pinpoint his enemies.
Both hope trump upsets the status quo.
My friend cannot visit. My sister in law missed her mother's funeral.
Venezuela is not a nice place for what we would consider normality.
I don't like American intrusion, but the Venezuelans I know are afraid to visit their country.
Will be hunting for more info on the state of affairs as this unfolds.
