The Disadvantages Of Being Venezuelan In The World And Xenophobia

The disadvantages of being Venezuelan in the world and xenophobia

It is currently known that Venezuela is going through its worst historical moment since its independence, that country that in the nineties was presented as a power in Latin America; Backed by its great oil reserves, strategic location and great periods of democracy, despite being on one of the continents that presented the greatest influence of political dictatorships and imbalances in the time. However, since Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías took power in 1999, under his policy and socialist government structure, the country began to present a deterioration mainly in the economy, politics, living conditions, education and health, which led to a Venezuelan sector to choose to make the difficult decision to migrate in search of better opportunities and a more favorable life condition, this block of emigrants during the period of Hugo Chávez, in Venezuela they are known as the first wave, those people who They had the vision and resources necessary to migrate to the country that they considered correct, since they were in the ability to choose their destination, also those who enjoyed other nationalities and family members who received it in these countries, this wave were the people with the largest economic level, understanding the upper and middle class of the moment, possible investors in other countries.

On April 19, 2013, Nicolás Maduro Moros took power as elected president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela with a minimum and very doubtful victory, the thrust he received was that Hugo Chávez before his death, recommended and guided his supporters to trust Maduro as his next president, since with him he would ensure that the guidelines of socialism would continue to guide Venezuela.

Nicolás Maduro since then and until today has led the country to a total crisis, from one of the highest inflations in the world, to being one of the most insecure countries, yes during the period of Chávez Venezuela it presented significant deterioration, with Maduro critically increased for his poor management and the consequences that were triggering Chávez’s decisions at the time. As the crisis increased, the decision to emigrate ceased to be "looking for a better life" to become "survive", the second wave of migrants is presented as people with few resources that really seek to escape from the tragedy that is lived In the day -to -day life of any Venezuelan who still resides in his country. The second wave of migrants includes a significantly higher amount of people than the first wave, being people with limited resources that ventured to the countries where they achieved some ease and not by criteria regarding the country where they would begin their new life, due to the fact of that do not have the resources to choose from.

The countries that have been the most of the exodus of Venezuelans in recent years are: Colombia, the United States, Spain, Panama and Argentina, on the other hand, the Dominican Republic has presented a substantial increase in the last 3 years, being the destination that has The most economical aerial passage from Venezuela. When the first wave of migrants came to establish themselves in these countries, the treatment received mostly was quite good by the premises, this managed to adapt more fluently and well -being, this wave in its large part chose to make His migratory processes to establish a correct legal status and also proceeded to make investments in the corresponding countries, seek employment or initiate university studies, at that stage it was very common to listen to the different natives of the countries: "The Venezuelan is intelligent" "Venezuelan are beautiful" "Venezuelans are very well prepared academically", among others. Xenophobia was not appreciated on a large scale and the Venezuelan felt special in his new home.

Subsequently, when migration in large masses and blocks began to the different destinations, due to the immediate need more than by decision, Venezuelans were gaining ground and establishing small blocks of Vinotinto society in the different countries, the presence of the accent of the accent of the accent began to feel So peculiar, the popularization of the "arepa", the appearance of a large number of Uber drivers, Tizana vendors (fruit cocktail), fast food cars (food trucks), and the variety of sweets began to be distributed " Savoy ”Symbolic for any Venezuelan, in addition to the use of the tricolor cap, vinotinto shirt and the sense of humor so dark that is characteristic of them, the majority being very prepared or with many years of experience work, but the migratory difficulties do not They lend themselves to opt for decent jobs. It is important to emphasize that, as well as the great wave, people who wanted to strive to make a living, also, as in all countries, people with little education and values ​​that wish to obtain benefits on the easy way, either: prostitution, Drugs, robbery, theft, among others ..

Tribalism was not present with the first wave of migrants, however, with the second, noticing that the blocks of Venezuelans were structured and of large number, it was present, with the differentiation and exclusion of these, when It began to generalize Venezuelans for the crimes or acts of some, or when they were seen as enemies in the work world, because they went to these countries to "steal jobs", or when Venezuelans begin to generalize as "prostitutes" for the acts of some who found no other way to make a living and opted for such work. Tribalism made societies in these countries begin to exclude Venezuelans, until reaching the point of xenophobia. In recent months there have been many cases of xenophobia in Ecuador, Panama, Aruba, Dominican Republic and other countries, where not only goes from verbbly or physically assaulting people, also exploit labor, complicating migratory procedures, taking advantage of the situation and need of Venezuelans, exclude them and even make fun of the situation through which their relatives pass.

Nowadays in the Dominican Republic and in many countries being Venezuelan is a weakness, it makes you less person in front of society, it complicates you on a large scale any procedure, work or opportunity, you receive criticism for no reason, it exposes you to be They take advantage of you, because they are being paid for the crimes, damage and bad image of a minor Parties. The curious thing about the situation is that the mistakes and damage of some generate a lot Business is not a topic that is discussed, the number of jobs generated by investment in shopping center such as Sambil or Blue Mall in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic is not taken into account when giving conclusions about the impact of migration, the Common of society does not pay attention.

The Venezuelan exodus in recent years has brought many economic and educational benefits to the countries that have received them, greater workforce and more prepared, greater cultural diversity and global knowledge, but has also led people with bad intentions, either in Venezuela , Peru or Bolivia are people who their lifestyle is oriented to crimes, or women who have not found a solution to their problems and prostitution has been the way, if any country in the world will migration like the one presented by Venezuela, they would also come out Very well prepared people, with great values ​​and by other people of bad life, because the truth is that this type of people is in all countries and is not part of a certain country, nor can it generalize or condemn a nation for their actions.

Venezuela was a country where the citizen did not have in mind to migrate, he was not part of the culture due to the good conditions presented by the country at the time, rather it was a country that later to World War II welcomed many migrants, giving them opportunities and respect they deserved, on the contrary today the Venezuelan feels that his nationality is a competitive advantage and a certain condemnation of the situation that is lived, the xenophobia that is in the day to day and affects the development of the life of the life of the life of the same. Tribalism in its pure state has led to xenophobia and therefore to teach Venezuelans that in all countries of the world they will be foreigners, except in Venezuela.
