After the Bars

There is an uncomfortable question that forces us to look where almost no one wants to look. What happens to a person when they leave jail. The answer is usually dismissed with quick phrases, suspicions, and distance.

The Venezuelan tragedy is not the crisis: it is having gotten used to it

For years, the Venezuelan crisis was presented as a transitory episode. A passing storm. A historical accident that would end 'next year,' after decisive elections, definitive dialogue, a miraculous economic plan, the great march, or some new patriotic epic recycled on national television.
