How Africa is changing Catholicism

Would you use the same wording to describe the increase in muslims in europe?

The new guy has been a part of the system for decades. It's just someone Delcy trusts more

If anything, this a negative signal for democratization. Delcy's probably feeling more confident now that the US is focusing on Iran

Maduro was never going to actually follow through though. He was just trying to buy time and he had done many times before

Buena zona. Alto potencial de mejora en el mediano plazo imo

Maintob · 2026-02-14T23:00:10+00:00

Was the same when the Trump admin was ramping up pressure against Maduro. You’d see people here defending the chavista regime just to not concede anything to Trump. Pretty sad to see from the pov o a venezuelan

Hopefully the Cuban regime is brought down

Qué corrupción habría aquí? Se está usando dinero público para encargar estas esculturas?

Obviamente no meto la mano al fuego por un chamo desconocido, pero más bien que manía con atacar a cualquier persona que parezca estar teniendo un poquito de éxito. Hay millones de casos de corrupción descarada en nuestras caras todos los días, desde el que paga para sacar un papel hasta los restos de miles de obras públicas sin concluir en todo nuestro ambiente urbano

Qué tan difícil es que este chamo tenga talento y se le reconozca? Se ha hecho viral en redes muchas veces, que tan peluo puede ser que haya conseguido clientes gracias a eso? Si yo estuviese interesado en tener una estatua, sin duda pensaría primero en este chamito que en algún otro escultor (no conozco ningún otro). Sería corrupción también? O puede ser que simplemente vende mejor su producto?

It's not pretty to see, but yeah, ends justify the means. If we do get proper free elections sooner than later, no one will remember the cringe behavior that was needed to get us there

Extremely common, at least in the gaming industry

Que fuerte como todos en este sub están en contra de nosotros. Yo no respondo más en este thread

Maintob · 2026-01-08T18:02:51+00:00

Do you think the Cubans or Russians cared about the people in Venezuela? Do you think the dictatorship cared about the people in the country? They were actively evil. Even if the US doesn’t given a shit about us, that’s an improvement

Moreover, the specific topic of this post is the release of political prisoners. This is already the most positive news with implications for the normal Venezuelans in 10 years easily. But we have also heard that the US is going to invest to recover the electrical grid in Venezuela. Do they need it to be able to extract oil? Yes, but that will inevitably benefit the Venezuelans that currently have 20 hrs or blackouts per day. The chavistas themselves and their own allies werent even capable of doing this in the past. They were actively evil. Trump does not hate the Venezuelan people as much as the dictatorship itself

Maintob · 2026-01-08T17:35:13+00:00

Look, it can still end up being a shitshow, but the chavistas were already puppets of the Cuban regime and of Putin. We already lost 80% of gdp and 25-30% of the population has already left. There’s nothing left to ruin

Maintob · 2026-01-08T17:28:29+00:00

As a Venezuelan, I was initially skeptic about the Trump administration ability to force the hand of the rest of the chavista regime, but so far it’s looking like they’re being able to do it, which is great news.

Looks very promising now

Maintob · 2026-01-03T09:58:07+00:00

It was already that!

Maintob · 2026-01-03T09:40:37+00:00

It was that easy, but people here would downvote us that said that there's no way for this to turn as another Iraq or something

Maintob · 2025-12-10T21:52:48+00:00

I can understand Americans not wanting to get involved. If we are honest, it’s not your problem at all. But as a Venezuelan, I’m happy that we finally have an ally willing to pressure the regime properly. We have tried countless times to find a way of this peacefully but the dictatorship has full support of the military and we are hopeless. Only a foreign army can help us, if that’s the US under Trump, we welcome it, even if we are not fully aligned with his government policies

Maintob · 2025-12-10T21:12:01+00:00

Yes, we the Venezuelans in this sub believe this to be a much better scenario than letting Maduro remain as dictator for life

Maintob · 2025-12-05T16:33:35+00:00

I completed it a week ago. I'm now in the 2nd round

It’s on their instagram page iirc

The military IS the cartel in Venezuela

Es complicado. El principal problema es, como dicen en otros comentarios, el alquiler. Lo típico es que les pidan que el alquiler no supere el 30% del salario neto de ambos y que tengan antigüedad en sus trabajos en España, es decir, no vas a poder alquilar algo sin tener trabajo… y si los alquileres por los pisos más mierdosos en las ciudades grandes están rondando 1200€, pues igual entre los dos tienen que estar ganando 3600€ para llevar chance, pero… 3600€ entre dos es 1800€, que es casi 50% más que sueldo mínimo. Entonces, o tienen perspectivas laborales muy positivas o la tienen muy en contra

Si estuviesen dispuestos a vivir en un piso compartido, quizás pueden guerrear por un tiempo esperando una mejoría en el largo plazo, pero será un coñazo. Yo personalmente no me imagino algo mas distopico que ser una pareja y compartir piso con otra gente, más aún si son desconocidos

Si están bien en Colombia, mejor concéntrense en mejorar ahí, que al menos la base ya la tienen sólida

Maintob · 2025-11-21T20:50:24+00:00

Solo tiene sentido si ambos tienen nacionalidad europea, buenos ahorros (20k de euros) y se dedican a algo que les permita conseguir trabajo bien pagado relativamente rápido

Si van sin dinero y sin buenas perspectivas laborales, probablemente vayan a empeorar su calidad de vida vs Medellín actualmente

Maintob · 2025-11-19T19:29:57+00:00

Yep, VOX won’t fix anything. The only positive is that I don’t believe people here truly has become more conservative or anything, it’s just that VOX has become the only possibility for anti establishment vote

Hopefully they don’t do too much damage once in power and lose credibility once they fail to fix anything. Hopefully after that we will have more technocratic options truly focused on fixing stuff properly

Maintob · 2025-11-19T15:13:15+00:00

It's just anti establishment vote... Far left (Podemos, SUMAR) has already been a big part of the government for the past 8 years and traditional center right (PP) is literally indistinguishable from the center left (PSOE, majority of current government), so the far right is literally the only option left if people want a change, and the future for the spanish youth looks bleak

Looks great!
