Venezuela: Humanitarian crisis and the fight for power | DW Documentary

Venezuela is in the grip of a protracted economic, political and humanitarian crisis. Since a power struggle erupted between the country’s incumbent leader, Nicolás Maduro, and self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaidó, the turmoil has deepened.
Venezuela’s border with Colombia has become a flashpoint between the two sides amid a row over shipments of humanitarian aid. February 23, 2019 was expected to bring a turnaround in the standoff. That was the day Guaidó called on his supporters to mobilize in their thousands at the Colombian border, and help carry the aid into the country -- food and medication to ease the hunger and suffering of the Venezuelan people. Everything hinged on one question: Would the military, which had so far stood fast behind President Nicolás Maduro, switch sides and let the aid in?
In his documentary, filmmaker Tuki Jencquel follows Venezuelan investigative journalist César Batiz, who accompanied a convoy given a personal send off by Guaidó from the Colombian border city of Cúcuta. For years, César Batiz has been uncovering corruption in the oil and electricity sectors, implicating not only Venezuelan government officials, but also members of the military. Analysts say corruption is largely to blame for Venezuela’s growing crisis over the last four years. Hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine, and frequent power outages have fuelled an exodus of more than three million people from Venezuela - a once-wealthy country that holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves. Long simmering tensions finally erupted on February 23, 2019 in a showdown between government forces and the opposition at a border bridge between Colombia and Venezuela.

Going in the streets accomplishes nothing, I hate to say. Blockades like Mauna Kea, and strikes, are different. They put them over a barrel. But protests just go nowhere, and only cause more dissention. It's not socialism that's to blame for Venezuela. They were fine under Chavez. It was the oil prices collapse. The problem is, what do they do, now? I suggest they issue a new currency, start over with a Sweden-type economy that is less extreme. But they'll need a lot of investment capital from outside. They could use their huge oil reserves, seems like. Even with lower prices. And the world bank.

oh in time of Chavez, oil price was high for several years, like 70-90$/ barrel. He kept selling oil and pumped the money to social programs, imported everything instead of investing in Venezuela's local producers, also he nationalised private companies. Btw, most of Venezuela oils are used to pay off its debt to Russia and China; even if US lift the sanction it won't change anything, more oil pump out, lower price it will be.

In order to do international trades esp with oil, you need to use US Dollars. But the US sanctioned Venezuela so they block them from using Dollars so in effect they can't do business with the outside world. So since Venezuela relies on imports for supplies like food and medicine and they have no monetary means to purchase them since US sanction them, this causes shortages and prices to skyrocket and your currency hyper-inflates and becomes worthless as other nation's exporters don't want it since they can't use it. Only thing Venezuela could turn to was using their gold to purchase goods but the Bank of England decides they won't release Venezuela's gold. So now they are screwed.

Sanctions to the country and the economy started on January 2019. Previous sanctions were only directed to individuals who are accused of corruption and other crimes. They got their PERSONAL millionare bank accounts in the US frozen. That's it, nothing that affects the country. The crisis started waaay before than January2019
