Have we arrived to the drop that spill the glass? or not yet?? Still can believe the things that are coming out of this new illegitimate government in Venezuela. First they refuse to do a recount of the votes, then they refused to do it in a transparent manner, and now they are attacking physically the the few government representatives from the opposition that remain in the system, the ones that has not yet been completely swept by the ruling party.
Today is a sad day for the people of Venezuela, as have most of the days in the last two weeks.
The insistence of a government that is sinking faster than ever, to stay through violence, repression and retaliation against those who think differently, it is increasingly evident. Yesterday was a classic example of true fascism that exists in Venezuela, and irrefutable proof of who are the ones that actually support this type of behaviour.

I'm not a political analyst, to try to understand the reason behind these actions, executed by Diosdado Cabello, and his henchmen, who laughing at the entire ordeal, deliberately attacked the opposition legislators who asked to participate in a session of Parliament.
I just want to express the suffering that exists in Venezuela, to such injustices, and the feeling of helplessness you feel, as a Venezuelan, that want out of this government. The Venezuelans want to work in peace, in order to support their families, educate their children and build a future. What kind of future can there be, when the country is kidnapped? The economic system is in pieces, because the industry has been dismantled by the very calls "expropriation". Major companies in the country, decided to close its doors for lack of raw materials to make their basic products as flour, oil, sugar and rice. What kind of future can a mother give to her children?

Much of today Venezuelans trust their leaders, who try to keep to a minimum the citizen confrontation through peaceful demonstrations, precisely to avoid violent clashes, as the one from yesterday. But what happens when there are not only a few "simple" blows, and the government really murders our representatives? and then said it was self defence? Who will defend us?

The people must defend themselves, We know that the energies are difficult to maintain when the day by day is increasingly difficult under the crisis, however for these exact same reasons, the peaceful fight must continue, in seeking the support of everyone who is against fascist positions, every Venezuelan has to put his two cents in continuing this marathon, and not rest until justice is done in Venezuela.
