بالأرقام
Economist and former minister Roberto Smith argues that a collapsed Venezuela cannot return to democracy simply by calling for elections. According to Smith, as indicated by the process following 1945 Germany, security must first be established, criminal organizations dismantled, and institutions rebuilt.
According to this analysis, Germany's success relied on the massive financial power of the US-supported Marshall Plan. Therefore, Venezuela needs a large-scale international economic aid program to revive its public services and finance its security forces.
In contrast to the absolute collapse of the Nazi regime in Germany, the power of the ruling elites in today's Venezuela continues. It is emphasized that a genuine transition is impossible without an agreement with the current authority, as there is a lack of will from foreign powers to change this structure.
