In the quantel: F / RS Venezuela UV
12:02
Venezuela is burning.
Young demonstrators
are fighting to overthrow the system in which they have grown up.
The country was
supposed to have become a socialist paradise - but instead the government rules
with tear gas and rubber bullets.
12:19
Rafaela Requesens is a
student representative. But instead of sitting in lecture halls, she has been
hitting the streets.
She wants to fight -
until the government gives in.

I cannot report anything good from my experience, and I am now 24 years old. The Venezuelan people are humiliated. We only know this system. But what we know is certainly not democracy.
The government says: Everything is in order. But that's not true. We all suffer from the corruption. Even government officials have to say farewell to their loved ones - not just at the airport, but also at the cemetery.
1.12
Many Venezuelans have
chosen to emigrate.
With 1.5 million leaving
the country in the last 20 years.
And the number seems
to be rising sharply.
1.24
"Petare" -
one of the largest slums in Latin America.
The suburb is the
constituency of the young politician Miguel Pizarro.
Many residents here have
put their hope in the 29-year-old.
There is a lack of
food, of medication, and of a future.

Lower: Miguel Pizarro, opposition politician. 01:50
In the end, it is a tragedy that faces us all - whether rich or poor. The crisis puts us all on the same level. As a politician, this fills with me pain. But at the same time, it motivates me to fight against these adversities.
2.14
According to a study,
Venezuelans lost an average of 8 kilos in weight in 2016.
In times such as
these, it is Pizarro’s duty as a parliamentarian, to bring his constituents
food.
02:32
And to listen.
This family has lost
a daughter - because important drugs were unavailable.
A fate which the young
politician knows from his own experience.
02:45
His sister developed a
brain tumour. There were no drugs
So she had to leave
the country to seek treatment.
03.02 (Over Voice Man)
Lower: Miguel Pizarro: Opposition politician. 3.3
It is our responsibility. That is why we are fighting on the streets and calling for elections and the recognition of the elected parliament. There must be enough food and medical care so that no one dies because of a defect. Hunger must not be a daily tragedy for the families in poor districts.
3.21
Venezuela is
statistically miserable, boasting the world’s highest rate of inflation, and
one of the highest murder rates.
Bread queues snake
through the streets - hard to believe in
a country with the world's largest oil reserves.
Food is scarce and
expensive.
Child mortality is
rising.
It is a country in
desperation.
03:43
How did Venezuela
reach this point?
Hugo Chavez promised
great things when he proclaimed ‘Socialism of the 21st century’.
He brought in
petrodollars and nationalized on a grand scale.
Four years after his
death and the wheels have come off, brought about by mismanagement, corruption,
and falling oil prices.
04:00
Under his successor,
Nicolas Maduro, the country has been brought to the brink of ruin.
The government has
lost control of the crisis.
But they put the blame on foreign countries, capitalists, and the opposition.
04.15 (Over Voice Man)
They do not want peace. They have manoeuvred themselves into a dead end - and are going to drag us into this abyss.
4.28
The majority of the
people have had enough of the Chavistas.
But Maduro ignores
their criticism - and wants to dissolve the opposition dominated parliament.
04:40
The delegates have
organised a special public meeting in a stadium.
The opposition divided on many fronts, but they are united by the desire for fresh elections.
(((O-Ton)))
04:57
Some call Miguel
Pizarro, Venezuela’s coolest parliamentarian:
5.5
He entered politics
when only a teenager.
Today, he is a member
of the centre-right party "Primero Justicia"
05.16 O-Ton (Over Voice Man)
Unfortunately, not all delegates are here, because they were arrested by the organs of the dictatorship.
Her only offense: thinking differently.
(((O-Ton)))
5.27
Socialism in
Venezuela has cheated the people.
05:32
Pizarro comes from an
ultra-left family.
His parents are
Communists - his father once fought alongside Hugo Chavez.
For Pizarro, however,
the old left is obsolete.
5.46 (Over Voice Man)
Lower: Miguel Pizarro: Opposition politician. 05:48
How can you describe yourself as "Left" if you respond to protests with repression, torture, imprisonment and murder. For Venezuela - but also for the world – it is clear: what we have before us is not LEFT, it is not even RIGHT, but the worst in the world - camouflaged as socialism.
6.8
Since the end of
March, frustration has forced hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans to take to
the streets.
According to NGOs
hundreds of protesters have been injured, nearly 3000 detained, and at least 60
dead.
Chavez left behind a
bloody legacy.
The President has
accused the opposition of inciting violence.
The opposition, in
turn, accused the government of violating human rights.
Maduro has reportedly
armed citizens.
META: Amateurfotos 06.35-06.43
These pictures show alleged
members of Maduro’s militia being publicly humiliated. An act of retribution
from an enraged population.
06.50 (Overvoice woman)
Lower: Rafaela Requesens: Student representative 06.52
The worst would be a civil war. But this is certainly not triggered by us. We do not have weapons but the government wants blood. But we do not want to blood. There are fellow students, friends of mine who are imprisoned and tortured - we do not want that.
7.13
The mobilised
students chant: "We are students, not terrorists"
In the struggle
against the government, studying has become a secondary concern for many.
7.21
Rafaela Requesens is
the president of the most important student association.
She is a 24 years old
political scientist.
The level of education
has fallen drastically.
What are the benefits
of state subsidies when money is worthless?
The frustration among
students is enormous.
(((O-Ton)))
07:44
Pizarro and Requesens
are both part of a growing movement fighting for a brighter future for
Venezuela.
