Bishops from Venezuala : “We live under a totalitarian and inhumane regime”

The representatives of the episcopate of Venezuela wrote a pastoral letter in which they described the situation in the country as dramatic and called the ruling system totalitarianism. In this document, Venezuela is depicted as an "inhuman regime, accompanied by repression, violence and torture."

The Venezualian bishops consider the declaration of the administration of President Nicolas Maduro about the alleged normality in the country as false and cynical. In their letter, the hierarchs called on the international community to put pressure on the state administration in Caracas to organize democratic elections.

“We live under a totalitarian and inhuman regime, accompanied by repression, violence and torture,” wrote Venezuelan bishops in the letter.

Bishop Juan Carlos Bravo Salazar from the Diocese of Acarigua-Araure stated in a recent interview that members of the Catholic hierarchy in this country are also under pressure and surveillance by the Caracas regime. Nicolas Maduro, who led Venezuela to a catastrophic economic situation, is accused of dictatorial rule, human rights violations, and unfair victory in the 2018 elections.

In less than a decade, Venezuala became an economic and social catastrophe because of its communist rule. Inflation rates increased under Chávez’s successor, Nicolás Maduro, and continued to increase in the following years, with inflation exceeding 1,000,000% in 2018. In the last twenty years, over four million Venezualians fled the country. This number represents almost fifteen percent of the country’s total population.
