Love holds you.

There are phenomena that happen around us that sometimes go unnoticed until something or someone makes us notice.Probably, many of you have noticed in recent years that the entrance of Venezuelan immigrants manifested itself in food places, remises, workshops, engineering companies, even in clinic guards and hospitals.The Venezuelan population who came to our country undoubtedly did so to work and study, definitely came looking for progress.Like the vast majority of those who abandon their origen places in search of better horizons, leave behind customs, friends and family.Nostalgias slightly anesthetized with lectures and videos by WhatsApp.After understanding that I had led these boys to undertake their future away from their land I interviewed several of them finding some common points among most of them:

Deteriorating salary in real terms. The labour yield was insufficient to meet the minimum requirements they had for their subsistence. Not to mention progress or social ascension. A Venezuelan girl assured me that, with the entrance of her job in one of the main advertising agencies of her country, she noticed a monthly remuneration that only reached her to buy four combos from a well-known fast dining house.

Discharge of essential goods. Price control and lack of dollars dried products the gondolas and shelves of trades. Vehicles ran out of parts and infrastructures of public goods and services deteriorated dramatically. In the country of oil there was no energy.

Exodus of multinational companies. The lack of clear rules, sustained circumstance for decades, drove large corporations to leave their positions in Venezuela, further decreasing the supply of products and increasing unemployment, making even more precarious the working conditions. Many companies who abandoned the country did this because from a reputable point of view having business at this location lowered their business qualification.

Escape from brains. Many of the more skilled entrepreneurs, professionals and workers first learned the departure, accelerating the process of deterioration in the private investment and employment equation versus the public, increased public spending and productive inefficiency.

Permanent increase in physical and material insecurity. Organized commands of criminals began with extortive kidnappings, joining their victims, commercial thefts until a war was finally waged between victims and poor victims.

These were coincident considerations among all the consultations.Past days, while lunching in a bar, those who are part of chains of gastronomic sites, I noticed that among the waiters none had that characteristic Caribbean accent.The intrigue invited me to consult the young man who understood my table that was what had passed with those foreign colleagues who in other opportunities had attended me.His response was immediate, “If they were, only one of the more than fifty who worked in this chain of six locations.”It was then that it seemed expedient to talk to this last Venezuelan in the box of that bar to understand what is happening.First, he remarked that, as in Venezuela, the ticket in Argentina no longer reaches it.It began to notice that some products lack or lack variety of offer. There are less and less large international companies.That the work proposals are more precarious.Many of his countrymen went to other latitudes or work here for other markets.However, he noted that in Argentina, which “todavia can walk relatively safe”, that people live in a tense calm, but calm in the end.So, I was forced to ask the million question.Why would he stay in our country?Kindly explained to me the following:Those who first were did not come to establish close ties with local citizens, i.e. they never tuned, in tune with the impulse that led them to leave their country of origin, left without penalty or glory to continue looking for better opportunities.Some, who joined socially, who armed couples and families with Argentines and Argentines left in group to arm their life projects elsewhere.Instead, like some others, the least, your couple wants to continue living in our country. You do not accept changing places, customs or friends, from being away from your home family.This sensitive boy only love retains.To what extent can our country appeal to the love that we have those who live here to follow without clear and viable proposals of a better future, with dignified work and sustainable rules that allow, by breaking the lomo, as we do every day, we can ascend socially?Is it an act of love to take away our loved ones, sooner than later, from this political berenjenal that seized the economy, our dreams and the future?Or perhaps we are hoping to get to the point where we discuss among the poor the earmarked distribution of the crumbs that remain of an Argentina devastated by the inoperability of politics, which only solves itself?
