Abstract
El gobierno venezolano ha sometido a la población a una constante militarización, en especial, a través de la creación de grupos de civiles armados, como lo son las milicias. A su vez, ha promovido la formalización de determinados movimientos sociales, por medio de leyes, para garantizar el establecimiento del ‘Poder Comunal’. Sin embargo, algunos de estos movimientos han servido para dar cabida a la formación de otros ‘grupos civiles armados’, lo que causa una mayor preocupación por ser una situación atípica en este país sudamericano. El presente ensayo tiene como finalidad abordar si los grupos provenientes de estos ‘movimientos sociales’ forman parte del aparato estatal para cometer crímenes de lesa humanidad en contra de la sociedad civil.
The Venezuelan government has subjected the Venezuelan society to constant militarization, especially through the creation of armed civilian groups, such as the militias. At the same time, it has promoted the formalization of certain social movements —by law— to guarantee the establishment of “Communal Power”. However, some of these movements have served to accommodate the formation of other “armed civilian groups”, which causes a greater concern in the Venezuelan society because all this is an atypical situation in this South American country. The purpose of this essay is to address whether some groups from these “social movements” are part of an organized structure of power, specifically attached to the state apparatus, to commit crimes against the civil society.
