Nancy Gomes, writer, stated that oil abundance in Venezuela created the illusion that there were no inequalities in the country. According to the author, this perception falsely concealed the actual problems existing in Venezuelan society.
Gomes added that violence has been present in Venezuela since the country's independence. Currently, violence accompanies citizens on the streets, being part of the daily life of the population.
The writer's intervention comes in the context of a broader analysis of Venezuelan social and historical reality, where oil wealth may have obscured the understanding of existing structural inequalities.
