Elections in Venezuela: the benchmark for many Venezuelans to decide whether to leave the country

Many Venezuelans say they want to vote against President Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela’s July 28 elections because they want to stop the deterioration of their quality of life, according to Caracas-based consulting firm Poder y Estrategia. The dilemma for a significant portion of Venezuelans is whether leaving the country is a solution to their situation and they believe that will be defined by the outcome of the elections. Migrants reviews the story of Daniel Briseño, who lives in a poor neighborhood of Maracaibo, Venezuela’s former oil enclave, and who checks his mail almost daily to find out if he has permission to move to the United States, while he hopes for a change that will return the oil country to its heyday.
