El político y abogado Antonio Ledezma, quien fuera Alcalde Mayor del Distrito Metropolitano de Caracas, narra con extremo rigor cómo fue secuestrado, en dos ocasiones, por los órganos de seguridad del régimen venezolano. Describe las caracteristicas de las prisiones de las que se sirve la dictadura para reprimir a la oposición, tanto en la era de Hugo Chávez como ahora al ilegítimo presidente de Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Prisiones en las que se ejecutan torturas y se asesina a los presos politicos, crímenes que hoy en dia son investigados por la Corte Penal Internacional y que Ledezma resume en esta espeluznante historia real. Ledezma, ahora en el exilio, cuenta cómo logró fugarse, recorriendo más de mil kilómetros y sorteando más de 40 puestos policiales y militares, para cruzar la frontera y poder llegar a salvo a territorio colombiano. Su narración permite comprender el grado de corruptelas que han hecho del país sudamericano una nación con más del 94% de su población en condiciones de severa pobreza. Un país reducido a un Estado fallido y forajido a la vez, porque sus instituciones han sido tomadas por la dictadura y su territorio repartido entre cárteles de la droga, grupos del terrorismo internacional y bandas de delincuentes comunes. Finalmente, el autor brinda valiosos testimonios de cómo lucha la ciudadanía en medio de inmensas dificultades y riesgos para tratar de sobrevivir y recuperar la libertad de su país.
The politician and lawyer Antonio Ledezma, who was Mayor of the Metropolitan District of Caracas, narrates with extreme rigor how he was kidnapped, on two occasions, by the security organs of the Venezuelan regime. He describes the characteristics of the prisons used by the dictatorship to repress the opposition, both in the era of Hugo Chávez and now, with the illegitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Prisons in which torture is carried out and political prisoners are murdered - crimes that today are investigated by the International Criminal Court, and that Ledezma summarizes in this horrifying true story. Ledezma, now in exile, recounts how he managed to escape, traveling more than a thousand kilometers and dodging more than 40 police and military posts, to cross the border and reach Colombian territory safely. His narration allows us to understand the degree of corruption that has made this South American country a nation with more than 94% of its population in conditions of severe poverty. A country with its institutions taken over by the dictatorship and its territory distributed among drug cartels, international terrorist groups and gangs of common criminals. Finally, the author provides valuable testimonies on how citizens struggle in the midst of immense difficulties and risks in order to survive and regain freedom in their country.
