No es amnistía si no es para todos.
Escucha esto bien…
porque aquí es donde empieza el engaño.
Nos vendieron reconciliación…
pero lo que están aplicando es exclusión.
Nos dijeron: “pasen la página”… pero dime tú…
¿cómo se pasa la página cuando miles siguen presos, millones de exiliados, cientos de perseguidos o inhabilitados?
Reflecting on recent conversations about amnesty and reconciliation in Venezuela, it's clear that many feel the process is incomplete and unfair. Although governmental authorities promote the idea of moving forward and healing national wounds, the reality experienced by a significant portion of the population tells another story. Many Venezuelans continue to face incarceration, exile, persecution, and political disenfranchisement, which raises serious questions about the inclusivity of any proclaimed amnesty. True reconciliation, as I've learned through following these events and interacting with communities affected, must necessarily involve addressing the grievances of all groups and individuals impacted by past conflicts and policies. Drawing from experiences shared within the diaspora, for example, many exiles report that without an equitable and comprehensive approach to amnesty, healing remains superficial. The phrase "no es amnistía si no es para todos" (it is not amnesty if it is not for all) strongly resonates, emphasizing that selective forgiveness fosters inequality and continued division. From my perspective, agreements or initiatives that exclude certain prisoners or persecuted people only deepen wounds and prolong societal rifts. To move forward genuinely, there must be transparent dialogue, accountability, and inclusive policymaking that recognizes the rights and suffering of every affected party. Without this, the outcome is partial reconciliation that may eventually lead to renewed tensions. In short, while symbolic gestures can be important starting points, they must be backed by genuine legal and social reforms that guarantee freedom, fair treatment, and opportunities for all Venezuelan citizens, whether inside or outside the country. Only then can Venezuela hope to truly "pass the page" and rebuild on a foundation of justice and unity.
