This is a blog about Venezuela from inside. The life, thoughts and feelings of a girl who has grown inside a Revolution she can't accept. The reader must know that I'm not an English speaker, so as I try to learn this language I ask for apologies about the grammar mistakes you'll probably find on the lines that follow.

About Ledezma and his hunger strike

In Venezuela (or when its about Chavez' Venezuela), to demand some respect for your most basic rights and to caught a bit of the -hypocrite- international community, you must lead a hunger strike for six days and end up like the picture on the right. If you do not believe me, ask Ledezma: Caracas' major, choosen by his voters in a democratic process but with the bad luck of belonging to an opposition party. To be a major from an opposition party has a very high cost: the president can take you off some of your competences and even invent a new charge and name a person to rule the city that pick you up in the first place, over you.
