I had been told that the worst time to be in Ukraine was winter, and for a "Caribbean" like me, used to Isla de Margarita and Los Roques, to name a few of the most beautiful islands in the world, I thought it would be hard to bear 30 degrees Celsius below zero and... I got over it
I am a human rights politologist militant artist from Venezuela living in Italy where I'm now a citizen. I had to flee my country of birth because of my family's political history given that my father was practically the right hand to the last truly democratic President Carlos Andres Perez before the upcoming of the chavista revolution era.
I wake up for my second day at Kyiv feeling awesome under so much fostering in such short time. We decide to eat prior to the scheduled meetings during the afternoon. There I had my first alarm experience due to bombing at a country in war. Traffic and people on the streets looked quite normal during day light (at night, half the city is in total darkness), and when the sirens blow, I feel that at the restaurant where we were eating, people kept behaving as if nothing were happening.
I reached Ukraine after a long bus drive from Kraków to Leopolis. On the first part of “A Venezuelan in Ukraine” I talked about the moment when I crossed the Rubicon, when going across the border from Poland. I illustrated it with an image describing my first impressions when leaving the bus at the city’s main square, under full darkness across the train’s and buses’ station.
I am in a bus, going to Ukraine, weighing the look for adventures and choices that led to this trip, not without anxiety, but with, at the same time, the parallel courage and certainty, of being at ease walking at the right side of history. A nun is sitting next to me, on one side, and at a right a kid with his little brother and his mother, but missing the father; he is not with them. The kid tells me that he is fighting for them and their country.

Artists are key to advance the ideas of freedom. They have all my admiration and support.
Dear readers,
Un "Bolívar Libre" de #ArteParaLuchar por Venezuela en NFT
Bajo un análisis geopolítico en lo fundamental, se determina cuándo el alcance de una “presencia” y a su vez “influencia” de un nivel extranjero significativo, facilita el desencadenamiento de una “acción” de envergadura esencial para un país como el nuestro. Si bien, en lo personal , alcancé a participar y comprobar, como colaborador cercano del Presidente Pérez el “alcane y profundidad positiva”, particolarmente en el ámbito energético, produjo resultados de gran alcance estratégico para Venezuela.
Los venezolanos se encuentran en una situación de desespero, frustración, indefensión (inducida a veces) y de resiliencia en el sentido negativo de la palabra que se traduce en un desencanto total, falta de confianza y rechazo a sus "representantes" (tanto usurpadores como pretendidos) Por un lado, se desinfla la dinámica del Interinato que inició con un gran apoyo y expectat
