Hola everybody, I am Alicia Cochina Ogliarquina. This is my first time writing on the blog. I heard they wanted another perspective, and trust me I can tell you many surprising things about Venezuela.
I am famous in my country as an ex-beauty queen, dramatic actress, political activista with a pioneering sense of personal style, and daughter of a beautiful prostitute and a wealthy businessman from a foreign oil company. I also have an amazing ass that you may recognize from telenovelas such as Que coño le pasa a esa mujer and Sinvergüenzas.
You can say I am something like an "expert" on Venezuela, because I have full knowledge of the pre-Chavez years when the word socialism was never heard on the lips of our leaders. They were responsible. They even made the Communist Party illegal to put a stop to the political tradition of brutal leftism, an act of bravery that inspires me.
For me, democracy is the only way. Think of it like a beauty contest. I know from experience that not everybody is as good as everybody else. Some people have amazing talents, like being able to dance the cha-cha in very high heels while doing sign language. Some people can cry on demand in a way that looks real but without making ugly faces like if they were actually crying. If you do not believe these things are possible, I welcome you to watch my Miss Venezuela performance of 1994.
Some people, on the other hand, are worthless and look horrible in a bikini. They maybe come from little money and have poor taste in clothing and foods. You see, when a democracy is properly functioning, it is impossible that these people would become president.
But it happened here, and this is why things are so bad today in Venezuela. This is why students from the finest universities must weep in the streets.
My country was a wonderful place to live until the arrival of Chavez, the one we call the monkey because he is so brown. You see, he is so corrupt he wants only to help his friends, the other poor people, ones who are lazy and do not contribute. Have you ever seen one of them in a nice shopping mall? No! They are drop-outs economically!
I often remember my father, may he rest in peace. He did not live long enough to know the tragedy that bestruck our country when the monkey came to power. If he were alive, he would never have permitted it. The memory of him gives me the passion to fight for freedom. Now, I take my message to audiences all around the world, from Miami to Washington. I tell them: the poor people have ruined our democracy in Venezuela! They are not responsible enough for to know how to vote!
I believe we must fight hard against the chains of this elected government. I will not let them silence me, nor the many newspapers and television stations owned by my family members and close friends. We must tell the gringos that our authoritarian monkey leader steals our oil money and puts it in the barrios where it does not belong. Please, I do not have much. I only have my great ass to offer. But I will continue to struggle, and I invite you to struggle with me.
