For years, Venezuelans have been living through one of the most severe economic collapses in modern history — one that has caused millions to flee the country. But this weekend, an election is offering many a real hope for change.


Julie Turkewitz, the Andes bureau chief for The Times, explains why, after years under a repressive government, Venezuelans think this time might be different.


Guest: Julie Turkewitz (www.nytimes.com/by/julie-turkewitz) , the Andes bureau chief for The New York Times.


Background reading:

• As many as one-third of Venezuelans would consider migrating (www.nytimes.com/2024/07/18/world/americas/venezuel…) if the country’s authoritarian leader is given another six years in power, one poll showed.

    What if you stayed in your own country instead? What if you fought to bring change to your country? What if you stayed away from America instead? We will send back those who are causing trouble.

    What a joke that America wants to ensure fair elections in Venezuela. We can't even do that here in America. Oh the irony.

    America is the main cause of non-functioning governments such as Iran Cuba Venezuela Afghanistan and North Korea., and a few others as well. By refusing to trade with them and forbidding the rest of the world to trade with them it causes chaos in the countries starvation non-functioning governments and hospitals. Countries should be free to decide what government they want without American interference. The American interference is often focused on the natural resources of these countries and not the condition of the population. Before we decide that these governments are evil or bad we should end the embargoes and trade sanctions and see how well they fare on their own. America doesn't always accept Democratic elections and often out the winner to install their own puppet. America has its own election problems and is in no position to judge others. Regardless America will continue to trade sanction embargoes until the oil corporations interest are satisfied

    US ministry of information sent Jesus to tell the oligarch to privatize the oil

    I'm sorry, Venezuelans, but I honestly doubt anything will change. In the end, the dictator and his loyalists will have the entire country to themselves. This is how dictatorships work in the modern day, they are immortal.
