Venezuela's energetic region shuts down
Almost 100 years have passed since the R4 well, better known as El Barroso, exploded in 1922 due to the amount of oil inside. From there, oil exploitation began in Venezuela, some saw it, even still do it, as a blessing, but after the years and the current state of the oil fields and the decline of the business, others qualify it as a true damn.
Venezuela drew world attention for its oil reserves, but at present, that enormous wealth in minerals such as oil has been of little use, at present the region is going through one of its worst social crises in its history, there is a huge energy crisis , the traditional sources of energy, domestic gas, electricity and gasoline, are simply not available to citizens when they need them, and a black market has been generated where they are sold to the population at prices above the international, all this in complicity with police and military agencies.
The issue of the social crisis is also worrying, according to statistics from Caritas de Venezuela, the figures for child malnutrition and mortality from it are high, at present few families can give breast milk to their children and they die irretrievably of hunger. It is worth mentioning that Zulia, in the west of the country, has fertile lands and was cataloged as the pantry of Venezuela a few years ago, the arrival of Chavez and his revolution, ended with food production units and, for example, An area of Zulia generated a million liters of milk a day and today it only produces 100,000.
I propose to make a great piece that shows all these elements to explain to the world population that it makes no sense that there are towns and cities that float on oil when there is a social reality where the population suffers from a huge crisis.
