Those responsible for Bislick’s death remain at large in the town of 30,000, where everyone knew of him, and of his lifelong dedication to Venezuela’s Socialist revolution. The Socialist mayor never spoke of the crime or visited the family, who said the killing had been politically motivated. After enduring Venezuela’s worsening economic conditions for seven years, the town finally raised its voice in September. “They had decided they must get rid of Edito Hidalgo because he’s preaching the Revolution to the people,” he said. Polls show the Socialist Party is now supported by just 1 in 10 Venezuelans.
