From AFP News Agency.
Venezuela’s Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, reports a 90% drop in the country’s murder rate. Between 2018 and 2024, the number of murder cases fell from 8,507 to 1,338, Saab says during an interview with AFP. An 80-percent drop in GDP over a decade of increasingly repressive rule by President Nicolas Maduro since 2013 has made many Venezuelans desperate. Maduro, who claimed victory in July 2024 elections that the opposition and much of the international community says he stole, insists low salaries are a consequence of international sanctions.
