Interview Eliza Arcaya: "As a hotelier I am very clear about my vote for Isabel Ayuso"
Caracas lives its own
Dolce Vita
, an exclusive revolutionary version for the famous "plugged in" that only needs a Fellini to portray it for posterity.
Porsches, Ferraris, paradisiacal islands
, luxury restaurants, models, yachts and beauty treatments worth thousands of dollars are part of the
bubble created by Nicolás Maduro
as an escape valve for the leaders of Chavismo to live at full speed in their country without need to travel to others who keep them sanctioned.
On the other side of the oasis of opulence, circumscribed to a certain area of the capital, Venezuelan society resists as best it can before the Bolivarian disaster, which
by the end of the year will have consumed 80% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) existing
when the "son de Chávez "came to supreme power in 2013. The main icon is the majestic Hotel Humboldt, at the top of the mountain range that surrounds Caracas, the scene of the best private parties and which is waiting for Maduro to install the promised socialist casino.
While Chavismo mourned this week
the death of former vice president Aristóbulo Istúriz
, belonging
to Maduro's most intimate circle
, dozens of mysterious messages began to appear on social networks until the word yacht became a trend.
"Rains make plugged in to use his yacht in Caracas," ironic Chigüire Bipolar, a satirical journalism portal that starts the smiles of Venezuelans daily despite the accumulation of misfortunes.
Opposition sources have confirmed to EL MUNDO that the former Minister of Education owned
a powerful yacht
with which he sailed through the Caribbean and that he had even arrived in Santo Domingo on such pleasant journeys.
So plugged in are the Bolibourgeois and friends of the Government immersed in their bubble that while others are forced to close during the days of radical quarantine, their
favorite places remain open for them
.
You are not well plugged in if you have not gone through the
Sottovoce
ristorante
and its Italian delicacies at the Eurobuilding Hotel or the Granier Bakery, opened just two months ago in Las Mercedes, on the crest of the wave.
As Anonymous, and as Café Kaldi, just opened, in which national product is consumed, the one that remains.
'Delivery' with rationed gasoline
For $ 50, they can also order a
delivery
that takes gluten-free cakes or truffled salmon to their homes, despite the fact that
gasoline is rationed
and under the control of the military.
One of the latest trends is
beauty treatments
, both for the body and for the face.
Anti-aging vaccines are at the top, at $ 800 a dose.
Also hyaluronic acid, around 5,000, without forgetting botox, at 3,000.
A luxury market in which Venezuelan models are not lacking.
Days ago a
new sexual scandal
broke out
with the arrest of Jenny Rosales, director of the Sambil Model beauty pageant.
The network hid a prostitution network that served women for the gold mines of the Orinoco Mining Arc and the Caracas bubble itself.
"The eccentricities seem impossible, from
Japanese wagyu meat at $ 200 a rear end
, to the most select drinks," reveals a regular from
Caracas'
dolce vita
under anonymity.
