Venezuelan Greek: "How Maduro Entered Our Homes"

Vasiliki Androutsopoulou, a Greek from Venezuela, describes the collapse of Venezuela through personal experiences. She refers to the Tun Tun operations, the ruthless colectivos, days-long blackouts, lack of water, the monthly salary of $1, and the bankruptcy of Greek stores. The transition from the era of Hugo Chavez to Nicolas Maduro was accompanied by an economic crisis and social unrest, resulting in the mass emigration of Greek diaspora members to Greece.
