Mientras escribo este post son muchas las noticias que llegan: que secuestraron a María Corina y luego la liberaron (aunque supuestamente es un video hecho con I. A. y que aún sigue secuestrada), que los presidentes de otros países se pronuncian en contra del secuestro y en contra del gobierno, que hay nuevos detenidos, que el régimen está desatado y ha bloqueado algunas plataformas de comunicación (Tik Tok y algunas VPN no funcionan).

Las informaciones vienen a cuentagotas y es poco lo que el pueblo puede saber y creer. Mañana será la toma de posesión del nuevo presidente electo de Venezuela, que si es por las actas de votación, tendría que ser Edmundo González Urrutia, pero todos sabemos que no será fácil. El poder es un vicio que el que lo tiene, le cuesta dejarlo. Que Dios proteja nuestro país.

HASTA UNA PRÓXIMA OPORTUNIDAD, AMIGOS

Hello, friends of the world, friends of HIVE! Venezuelans are living crucial days for the country's democracy. María Corina Machado, leader of the opposition, called for Venezuelans to rally and raise their voices against the Venezuelan government all over the country today, January 9.
Personally, I got up early and was ready to leave at the appointed time, 10 am. I had arranged to meet some friends at a place near the rally point, so I went there first and then we all went to St. Vincent de Paul Church.
We had not been there 10 minutes when a group of motorized and hooded men, identified with government shirts, began to surround us and shout threats. Their intention was to intimidate, but what they achieved was that we all shouted loudly:
_Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom!!!!
I must admit that while I was at the rally I was very scared to see so many motorized people with their faces hidden, but the rage, the impotence, the desire for change was stronger and that is why I stayed there until the end.
In the opposition rally, we sang the anthem, we also prayed. We were there with our flag, with whistles, banners and with an unshakable faith as the only weapons of struggle.
As I write this post there is a lot of news coming in: that María Corina was kidnapped and then released, that the presidents of other countries are speaking out, that there are new detainees, that the regime is unleashed and has blocked some communication platforms.
Information comes in drips and drabs and there is little that the people can know and believe. Tomorrow will be the inauguration of the new president elect of Venezuela, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, but we all know that it will not be easy. May God protect our country .
