I was in Parque del Este tonight speaking to volunteers and affected families camping there. I was chatting to one family when two men came over to look what was going on then left. I started helping the family move their stuff to the road (I was carrying the cat!) as they were moving somewhere else. The two men called me over, asked me if I was a journalist, to which I said yes and showed them my wristbands. Asked more questions, who I was, where from, what I was doing. I asked who they were, as they still hadn't introduced themselves by this point. One (the politer one) said they were intelligence police, asked what I was doing, so I said speaking to the family etc. Asked if I knew them, I said no. Then asking qus like my age, which was weird as one had my passport which has my DOB. Took photos of my passport. Asked where I lived, said I didn't want to give that info. I asked why they wanted to know all this, they said for security and that people were taking children, so I asked if they thought I was taking kids. They said no. I told me they were asking me because I was a journalist and there was not a real free press. One was fairly polite and said they didn't want to make me uncomfortable. I said they already had. Eventually they gave me it back. It's ok to check who someone is, check they have a wristband which you now should have in the park - but I did, and I showed them, so why the need for questionning and taking photos of my passport? And why was the first qu, are you a journalist? Does everyone who enters the park get that level of treatment?

Por favor, @Cristiano. Te pedimos que mires esta historia y le mandes un saludo a este niño que pidió tener un lámina del álbum.
Vamos a etiquetar todos a Cristiano Ronaldo en esta publicación.

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed. https://t.co/v6BOQVLRnx
I’ve read numerous reports of how Venezuela’s interim authorities did not respond to this tragedy and have actively blocked aid from both national and international volunteers. Not only in Caracas, but across the interior of the country.
This is, without question, one of the issues I’ll raise most urgently today.
Humanitarian aid cannot be politicized. It must reach people through transparent, verifiable channels because in moments like this, corruption costs lives.
Así será el culillo que le tienen al posible retorno de María Corina Machado que decidieron cerrar el espacio aéreo nacional para vuelos que no fuesen humanitarios.
Alguien grande le jaló la oreja al régimen porque el cierro duró poco.

As Venezuelans and American Rescue teams fight to save lives in the aftermath of this devastating earthquake, thug Diosdado Cabello once again demonstrates the cruelty and indifference that define the dictatorship.
The people of Venezuela deserve real leadership—not propaganda and repression.
The world is watching, and those responsible for abandoning the Venezuelan people will be held accountable.
Otro ángulo de la discusión entre Diosdado Cabello y el rescatista estadunidense.
“Back up, back up” dice el rescatista pidiéndole a Diosdado que se aleje de él y visualmente muy disgustado con la situación.
Está bien que esto se filtre. Es la clara muestra de lo que vive Venezuela hace 30 años.
Si el rescatista hubiera sido venezolano, estaría metido en un calabozo en este momento.
O Santos FC lamenta profundamente o falecimento do jogador Yimvert Berroterán, de apenas 18 anos, da Universidad Central de Venezuela, nosso próximo adversário na CONMEBOL Sudamericana.

Ressaltamos, também, o papel da nossa parceira ACNUR, que está atuando dentro do país com ajuda humanitária emergencial aos sobreviventes e vítimas desta catástrofe.
