Venezuela’s Government said on Wednesday that the country’s homicide rate fell dramatically last year.
It went from 33 murders per 100,000 inhabitants to 21, for a drop of 37 per cent, Interior and Justice Minister Nestor Reverol said without offering an explanation for the decline.
These figures are at odds, however, with those of a non governmnetal organisation (NGO) called the Venezuelan Violence Observatory, which said in December that there were 60.3 murders per 100,000 inhabitants in 2019.
