Why Venezuela’s Elections Don’t Matter to a Desperate Populace

Video    Times Documentaries    The New York Times    May 20, 2018

 

Elections are approaching in Venezuela,

but many citizens have other concerns.

 

As President Nicolás Maduro looks to stay in power,

thousands are trying to flee.

 

A Times video correspondent

traveled to the Colombian border town of Cúcuta.

 

This is what he saw.

Caracas: Venezuela's most violent city

Video        G        11 March 2011

is one of the most dangerous cities

in the world.

often more than in Baghdad

- and less than 7% of cases are solved.
