for the "rich children" of Chavismo, there is no crisis

Due to the deep political, economic and social crisis, in Venezuela, millions of people live in poverty, while at least 2.3 million have fled the country since 2015, according to the UN.

Mbadive demonstrations against this system have left more than 40 dead and around 1,000 arrested by Nicolás Maduro's armed forces.

However, far from this reality, a group of Venezuelan children spend their money to pay for their holidays in the most luxurious hotels in the world.

Among these "spoiled children" of Chavismo is the eldest daughter of the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Hugo Chávez, Maria Gabriela (photo), who is considered as the richest woman in Venezuela.. He would have a personal fortune of over 4,000 million dollars hidden in European bank accounts, said Perfil.

The 38-year-old woman earned her fortune by acting as the first lady of her father, former lieutenant-colonel Chávez, after the divorce of his second wife. She is currently Venezuela's Alternate Ambbadador to the United Nations in Europe.

However, she and other children of the Venezuelan socialist elite seem to have forgotten Chavez's motto: "To be rich, it's bad, it's inhuman".

His younger sister, "Rosines," fled the embarrbaded hours of the country after posting a photo with his hands full of dollar bills on social media in 2016. He now lives in Europe. It is estimated that Chavez bequeathed to his children a fortune of 1.8 billion US dollars.

"Nicolacito" Maduro Guerra, son of Chávez's successor, is much less well known than Chavez's other wealthy children and has had problems the day he threatened Donald Trump with seizing the White House if the US Army invaded Venezuela.

Two years ago, the parliamentarian was captured in a video at the luxurious Gran Hotel Meliá, dancing to the rhythm of Arab music, while a rain of dollar bills fell, recalls Perfil.

With no professional experience and with a teaching program preserved as a state secret, Nicolacito is a member of the National Constituent Assembly. A flutist in a national orchestra, he managed to occupy three high public offices in the Chavista administration.

Nicolacito is the result of Maduro's first marriage. In 2013, the president married Cilia Flores, nicknamed the "first fighter", who is also part of the Constituent Assembly, which is still trying to amend the Constitution. Flores is a 60-year-old lawyer who participated in the defense of Chávez when he was imprisoned in 1992. Under his tutelage, Maduro's wife held important positions within the party and the company. 39, State, including the presidency of Parliament.

The US Treasury has introduced the first fighter on his "blacklist", including him in a long list of men and women of Chavismo related to corruption and drug trafficking, violation of rights of man or the systematic destruction of Venezuelan democracy. As reported, his three children were among the big beneficiaries of a corruption system that raised up to $ 1.2 billion in PDVSA.

The family of the first lady also "hanged" Venezuelan petrodollars. Efraín Antonio Campo Flores and Franqui Francisco Flores, nephews of Cilia, were imprisoned in 2017 for 18 years each, after capturing them for attempting to smuggle cocaine into the United States. through Haiti. According to Venezuelan journalist Maibort Petit, at the time of arrest, the boys confessed that the transport of the drug was supervised by Diosdado Cabello, one of Chavez's pillars, and Tareck El Aissami, vice-president of the nation.

Yoswal Gavidia Flores and Walter Gavidia Flores, children of the first lady, are considered by Maduro as their own children. The youth spent $ 45,000 for an extravagant 18-night stay at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, where rooms cost $ 591 per night, which is the minimum monthly salary of 2,000 Venezuelans, depending on the profile. The two presidential stepchildren were also seen in luxury restaurants and clothing and jewelry stores in Madrid.

As the Spanish newspaper La Razón reports in an article titled "Maduro's children stay 18 days at the Ritz in the middle of a crackdown", Yoswal and Walter spent a total of about $ 46,000 during their stay at the luxurious Ritz of Madrid. The minimum expenses between hotel, transport and purchases would have exceeded 40,000 euros.

The crazy life of Yoswal and Walter ended last year when his senator Yosser was accused by US Senator Marco Rubio of being involved in a plan to fight money laundering by September 2018. they would have transferred more than 600 million US dollars from PDVSA – the Venezuelan national oil company – to a screen in Hong Kong controlled by, as Rubio called them, "Venezuelan conspirators". According to the senator, some of this money ($ 185 million) was sent to the three maroons of Nicolás Maduro.

Daniella, daughter of Diosdado Cabello and Minister of Tourism, Marleny Contreras, completes the list of rich children of Chavismo. The daughter of the revolutionary, implicated abroad in many cases of money laundering and drug trafficking, appears in front of Venezuela as "influential" and burst of glamor in her messages on Instagram. In June 2018, the US authorities confiscated the girl about 800 million dollars.
