Florida

Venezuelans residing in South Florida are closely watching escalating tensions between the U.S. government, led by President Trump, and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Many in the community support efforts to remove Maduro, citing the failure of political solutions and reports of repression in Venezuela, but they are also concerned about the potential consequences of military intervention, particularly the risk to civilians.

Exiled opposition figures, such as Omar González, argue that the situation is a matter of national security for both the U.S. and Venezuela, and point to significant U.S. military mobilization in the region. Despite differing views on intervention, the Venezuelan diaspora in Florida shares a common hope for a swift return to democracy in their homeland.

Los venezolanos en EEUU, preocupados por las tensiones entre Trump y Maduro

Kimberlin y Yolkert viven en EE.UU. desde 2023. Aquí en el sur de Florida, hogar de la mayoría de los venezolanos en el país, siguen de cerca al presidente las amenazas de Trump contra Nicolás Maduro y la masiva concentración militar en la región. Quieren ver un cambio de régimen en su país, pero les preocupan sus implicaciones. Es una lucha interna. A veces dices que sí y a veces que no. Un día te levantas y dices que sí, que intervengan militarmente. Al día siguiente dices, pero ¿y si cae una bomba en casa de mi padre, en un hospital, sobre los niños? Aunque su mujer teme el impacto de la sociedad civil, cree que la comunidad internacional intervención es la única vía posible para destituir al líder autoritario Nicolás Maduro. En Venezuela, ya no hay vías políticas para destituir a ese régimen. Lo han intentado todo. Nos robaron las elecciones. Cualquiera que exprese una opinión diferente es detenido, perseguido y torturado. Mujeres, hombres y últimamente familias enteras han sido secuestradas. Lejos de casa, muchos aquí en Doral, un barrio de Miami conocido como Doralzuela, debido a su gran comunidad venezolana, apoyan una intervención militar. Pero aunque la gente de aquí apoye la presión del presidente Trump contra Nicolás Maduro, no está claro que si la Casa Blanca decide una intervención militar, cómo el presidente Trump, el autoproclamado presidente de la paz, será capaz de convencer a su base que este paso es necesario, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que una de sus promesas de campaña fue poner fin a las guerras interminables de América. Omar González, un político opositor venezolano que ahora vive exiliado en EE.UU., afirma que que se trata de un asunto de seguridad nacional para la Casa Blanca y que hay mucho en juego para Caracas, pero también para Washington, D.C. El presidente Trump se juega su estatus como jefe de la primera potencia mundial. No creo que esta inmensa movilización de aviones, submarinos nucleares y la mayor portaaviones del planeta sea un farol o sólo para presumir de poder. Tras las disputadas elecciones presidenciales de julio de 2024, Omar González, junto con varios otras figuras de la oposición, huyeron a la embajada argentina para evitar el arresto y la represión. líderes de la oposición. Después de más de un año en la embajada, fueron rescatados y llegaron a EE.UU. Ahora Omar González forma parte del partido político Vente Miami, junto con su compañero José Graterol, y continúa su labor de defensa desde el exilio. Aunque menos elocuentes que los que piden la intervención, algunos venezolanos temen en silencio lo que una acción militar podría significar para el país y para una región ya marcada por la guerra. intervenciones anteriores. Pero comparten una cosa, la esperanza de un rápido retorno a la democracia en casa.
