You Have the Right to Know
Today is International Day for the Universal Access to Information: a noble UN goal that doubles as a sinister joke to Venezuelans living in the dark under a dictatorship that wants them not to know.

Today is International Day for the Universal Access to Information: a noble UN goal that doubles as a sinister joke to Venezuelans living in the dark under a dictatorship that wants them not to know.
El Día mundial de Acceso a la Información se conseguirá en Venezuela con una de las peores deudas de su historia: los ciudadanos se mueven a oscuras ante una dictadura opaca.
Chavismo lies. It also supports torture, disappearances, arbitrary arrests and mock trials.
There are more chavistas controlling, restricting, overseeing and threatening other people’s productive work than there are chavistas actually working and producing themselves.
There is no handbook for riding out a dictatorship. We demand our politicians give us certainties nobody can give, then attack them when they refuse to lie to us.
We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
