The Venezuelan crisis is burning a hole through Spain’s political scene, as the opposition skewers Prime Minister Sánchez for a weak, dithering response as he's held hostage by his unambiguously chavista allies in Podemos.
Venezuelans in the diaspora can contribute both to the countries that host them and to the country they’re from. At this crucial juncture, all the Venezuelan abroad can play a crucial role. Here’s how.
