‘God is punishing the politicians’: anger at earthquake response grows in Venezuela

Public discontent is escalating in Venezuela due to the government's perceived inadequate response to recent twin earthquakes that claimed nearly 4,500 lives. Citizens are increasingly furious over the lack of timely disaster aid, and this frustration is compounded by lingering resentment from past US military interventions. A particularly striking moment of public outrage was captured on camera when a grieving mother confronted the son of former president Nicolás Maduro, highlighting the deep-seated anger and desperation felt by many. This growing discontent could potentially lead to significant social unrest if the government fails to address the urgent needs of the affected population.
