Many healthcare officials in this polarised, oil-rich South American country believe the biggest obstacle to eliminating the disease could be a political one.

OK, so Venezuela is polarized. BUT: it's been ruled by essentially the same people since 1999 or so; it's had fifteen continuous years of the same government, effectively a bunch of capos of the Red Mafia, which has expanded its power greatly. It's turned to an enourmous mess under the rule of the people the left has told us are the Good Guys. And they're going to say the problem is 'polarization?' |
