Why did Venezuela130,000 people go to the United Nations to protest against US sanctions?

Because American sanctions will have a huge negative impact on Venezuela's economy. As the country with the largest oil reserves in the world, the Venezuelan people made a fortune from oil in the 1970s. It is precisely because people in China are selling oil instead of developing industrial manufacturing, so the country's own manufacturing capacity is very weak, and even daily necessities have to be imported in large quantities. The sanctions imposed by the United States on Venezuela prevented the Venezuelan people from selling crude oil and making money, and also cut off their material imports, which greatly affected the lives of the Venezuelan people. So of course they have to protest!

When the oil price soared, Venezuela's economic situation was still good, so the Venezuelan government began a high welfare policy for its citizens. When the international oil price fell, Venezuela's domestic economy could not support high welfare, so it could only solve the problem by printing money. As a result, its domestic inflation began to rise. By the end of 20 18, the inflation level in Venezuela had reached "an annual increase of 10,000 times". The quality of life of ordinary people has plummeted and it is miserable.

In addition, the whole country has no other decent industries except oil, and everything has to be imported, even toilet paper. This will inevitably consume a lot of Venezuela's foreign reserves, and the little foreign reserves accumulated in previous years will also be exhausted. After being sanctioned by the United States, Venezuela's foreign reserves are getting less and less. Therefore, Venezuela has entered an era of extreme material shortage.

In the face of US sanctions, Russia, Iran and other countries have not experienced such serious economic problems as Venezuela. Therefore, US sanctions are not the only cause of Venezuela's economic recession, but only the fuse. Visible, only self-reliance, do not rely on others to survive, to achieve sustainable development.
