The statue of Maria Lionza broke because...
…God willed it so. ¡Y chito!
…Maria Lionza, like most Venezuelans, simply could not stand one more cadena nacional.
…the Goddess wanted to lounge back to see the transit of Venus.
…the Chavista castro-comunista tumultuario regime’s Fundapatrimonio messed with it.
…the fascist coup-mongering baby-eating opposition sabotaged it.
…of the laws of physics.
…a chavista palero attacked it to stop the goddess’s protective powers. (Most marches are on the highway she sits in.)
…we’ll never know, pero de que vuelan vuelan
