Love and union is what makes us great. The best is yet to come, amen 2023”, she posted on her Instagram account.
a bumpy date
The rejection of the presence of the official from the administration of Nicolás Maduro was not the only inconvenience that marred the appointment: electrical failures and in the logistics for access to the venue the attendees had to overcome.
«At the Wisin y Yandel concert, the power went out several times and for long periods, only the power plants were left working (…) There were cars up to the highway and people asked $20 to take care of it. The rain was intense and they sold the black bags to cover you for $5 (…) Impressive the number of escorts at the concert, who entered and left like a dog through their house in the different areas: the chapeo without shame, “reported Dayana Krays, journalist of Venezuela Impact.
The deal with the press was also a disaster, nothing that the producer promised was fulfilled.
They did not let the space that was destined for us to cover the event pass.

The exit of the event was also uneven: «Pickets of the Bolivarian National Police prevented the exit while hundreds gathered. Two hours to get out of the parking lot, where many were left with the vehicles stranded, in sewers without a lid, “he said. Rayli Lujanalso a journalist.
«Police officers asked the journalists for money to let them park, it did not matter if they showed their work card or the press bracelet (…) In the middle of the afternoon there was a signal in the Poliedro, but when Gustavo Elis got on stage, Sixto Rein and Potro Álvarez the coverage disappeared completely. At the end of the Wisin y Yandel concert, at 2:00 a.m., people had no way of ordering a taxi, “said Isaac González in The National.
