This morning the inhabitants of the Ojo de Agua barrio near the highway that connects Caracas and La Guaira, blocked
the road in protest over their housing problem. Most of their homes
have been declared “uninhabitable” by the Government, but have received
little help, advise or even a response from the Government.
This
protest in itself would be no different from what goes on daily in
Venezuela, where the headquarters of CONAVI, in charge of housing, is
the subject of daily protests, since this Government has neglected
housing for eight years. What made the protests cute was the theme:
Batman. You see as the protesters began discussing whether to march to
the Presidnetial Palace or not, they started chanting “We want Batman!
We want Batman!”.
You see, according to the neighbors of
Ojo de Agua, Minister of Housing Carrizales lives in his batcave and
they want him to come out of it and give an answer to the protest by
more than one thousand families.
By the way, these people
protesting claim to be pro-Chavez and the feel they need to go directly
to the President for their problem to be solved.
