“The situation is extremely dire for the huge percentage of the population that lives in poverty,” Andrés Guilarte, a young Venezuelan political activist who is now living in the United States, told the Washington Examiner. “Almost 90 percent [of the country] is living with less than $1 per month.”
Guilarte argues that socialism has taken the people of Venezuela to a “primitive survival mode.”
“Every single day, people are facing choices between buying food or paying for bus tickets, eating garbage, not being able to find medicines or not having money to pay for it, [as well as] water and electricity shortages,” said Guilarte.
“Millions of people, due to the constant electricity and water shortages, had to go back to using oil lamps and gathering water in big plastic containers. Every single one of the factors that make the humanitarian crisis as bad as it is is growing day after day, and people are leaving the country by any means they can.”
