Caracas, Mar 26 (EFE).- (Camera: Iván Cárdenas) "I do not know anyone infected with Covid-19". This phrase was recurrent in Venezuela, even when the rest of the countries had reached the limits of their health resources.

Caracas, Sep 25 (EFE), (Camera: Andry Rincón).- Venezuela was infinite. It seemed that nothing could go wrong when, in the 80s, the world still looked at the Caribbean country with admiration. Oil, minerals, cocoa, gas, tourism, fishing. Inexhaustible resources that placed Bolívar's homeland in the first position in the ranking of the richest countries in Latin America. Today, it is the third to last.FOOTAGE OF OIL EXTRACTION, PORTS, BUILDINGS AND STREETS OF CARACAS. SOUNDBITES OF:-BLANCA MENDOZA, RETIRED:"The city was beautiful and quiet. There were no problems. There was like a village, a quiet city. Today it is horrible like the rest of the world. The situation is very difficult mainly for us, the elderly. I worked for the judicial system for 30 yers and my pension doesn't reach 1,000 bolivars permonth."-ENRIQUE RUBIO, RETIRED:"Back in those days we didn't have any luxuries, but we had everything. There was gas, all public services worked. If one took to the streets to protest, he would't go to jail as it happens today. Now protests have been criminalised.""The other parties managed the country more or less fine. We used to live more or less fine. But then Chavez came to power and, influenced by Cuba and Fidel Castro, everybody is aware of it, he made up that socialism is the same as communism. But we all know that if communism comes to power in the desert, after one year there will be no sand in the desert."
