Silence has a cost. 26 Years Waiting for Something to Happen: Venezuela and the Cost of Silence

Descripción

Silence has a cost.And this episode is about facing it.In this conversation, Ernesto Herrera, Xiomara Mérida, and Héctor Mendoza sit down to analyze what many are afraid to say out loud: when fear replaces accountability, and silence replaces action, real people pay the price.This is not about political teams or talking points.It’s about what happens on the ground—to families, to communities, to human lives—when power goes unchecked and stories are ignored.We talk about fear, responsibility, misinformation, and the moment when staying quiet stops being neutral and becomes complicity.This episode isn’t meant to tell you what to think.It’s meant to ask a harder question:What does our silence allow?Watch with an open mind.Share if you believe these conversations still matter.#SilenceHasACost #CommunityVoices #HumanRights #Accountability #AquiEntreNos #CivicResponsibility
