Venezuelans in Madrid: contact with families in limbo after the earthquake
After the earthquake left a wide area of Venezuela without electricity, Venezuelans living in Madrid face a daily struggle: reaching their loved ones has become almost impossible. The lack of news about their families adds to the uncertainty and financial hardship they were already enduring.
Although Venezuelan authorities have promised to restore the service, the blackouts drag on and official information is scarce. The Venezuelan diaspora in Spain, one of the largest, keeps paying the price of instability in their home country. Meanwhile, frustration is growing on social media and forums, but so is solidarity among compatriots.
