El ministro del Interior de Venezuela dijo que la tasa de homicidios de 2013 hab\u00eda ca\u00eddo alrededor del 30 por ciento desde el a\u00f1o pasado, una afirmaci\u00f3n dudosa seg\u00fan las cuentas de ONGs, y dada la propensi\u00f3n que tiene el gobierno de maquillar las estad\u00edsticas sobre el crimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El ministro del Interior, Miguel Rodr\u00edguez Torres, dijo a Reuters<\/a> que el pa\u00eds estaba en camino a terminar el 2013 con una tasa de homicidios de 39 por cada 100.000 habitantes; tasa que seg\u00fan las estad\u00edsticas de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito<\/a> (ONUDD) ser\u00eda la m\u00e1s baja desde 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La cifra representar\u00eda una significativa disminuci\u00f3n con respecto a la tasa oficial de homicidios del gobierno en 2012, de 56 por cada 100.000 -un alto r\u00e9cord en s\u00ed mismo. Cuentas independientes ubicaron la tasa de 2012 en una cifra mucho m\u00e1s alta, en hasta 73 por cada 100.000 habitantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El ministro atribuy\u00f3 la disminuci\u00f3n de 2013 al programa que despliega a los soldados en las calles <\/a>para combatir el crimen, del presidente Nicol\u00e1s Maduro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo estamos en el estado ideal, nos falta mucho por hacer, pero s\u00ed estamos caminando con paso firme hacia donde tenemos que ir\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Rodr\u00edguez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mientras tanto, la entidad independiente Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia ha proyectado un aumento del 24 por ciento en la cantidad de homicidios con respecto a los 21.000 contabilizados el a\u00f1o pasado. Sobre lo anterior, el ministro se\u00f1al\u00f3 que \u201cQuieren mantener la percepci\u00f3n peor que la realidad\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A principios de este a\u00f1o, Rodr\u00edguez admiti\u00f3 a los medios que el gobierno venezolano mantiene en secreto las estad\u00edsticas criminales desfavorables<\/a>, declarando que le dijo a Maduro que deber\u00edan comenzar a publicar las cifras ahora que \u00e9stas eran \u201cfavorables a lo que queremos\u201d. Durante el a\u00f1o, sus afirmaciones acerca de la reducci\u00f3n de homicidios oscilaron entre el cinco y el 61 por ciento, y la falta de transparencia del gobierno y las grandes fluctuaciones de las estimaciones dan buenas razones para dudar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/strong> Noticias y perfiles de Venezuela<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adicionalmente, las cifras r\u00e9cord de homicidios<\/a> se mantuvieron constantes en los primeros cuatro meses de este a\u00f1o, poniendo al pa\u00eds en camino a superar por mucho los 160.000 homicidios oficialmente registrados por el gobierno en 2012. En agosto, el Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia calcul\u00f3 25.000 homicidios para el a\u00f1o<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Incluso si las afirmaciones de Rodr\u00edguez fueran confiables, una tasa de homicidios de 39 por cada 100.000 habitantes, estar\u00eda cerca de cuatro veces lo que la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) clasifica como \u201cepid\u00e9mica\u201d, y una de las m\u00e1s altas de Latinoam\u00e9rica \u2013por encima de Colombia y M\u00e9xico. El hecho de que semejante cifra parezca una proyecci\u00f3n muy optimista, s\u00f3lo destaca m\u00e1s la nefasta situaci\u00f3n de seguridad del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El ministro del Interior de Venezuela dijo que la tasa de homicidios de 2013 hab\u00eda ca\u00eddo alrededor del 30 por ciento desde el a\u00f1o pasado, una afirmaci\u00f3n dudosa seg\u00fan las cuentas de ONGs, y dada la propensi\u00f3n que tiene el gobierno de maquillar las estad\u00edsticas sobre el crimen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":39231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"newspack_content_restriction_is_exempt":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[452,400],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3820],"class_list":["post-6219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-homicidios","tag-venezuela-pais","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/gobierno-de-venezuela-afirma-caida-del-30-en-homicidios-de-verdad\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Gobierno de Venezuela afirma ca\u00edda del 30% en homicidios \u00bfDe verdad?","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/gobierno-de-venezuela-afirma-caida-del-30-en-homicidios-de-verdad\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/gobierno-de-venezuela-afirma-caida-del-30-en-homicidios-de-verdad\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/es-4f26cf9671590db91c0217194c4b7c32.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/es-4f26cf9671590db91c0217194c4b7c32.jpg?fit=280%2C169&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Marguerite Cawley"}],"creator":["Marguerite Cawley"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["homicidios","venezuela"],"dateCreated":"2017-03-27T23:57:45Z","datePublished":"2017-03-27T23:57:45Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:35:17Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/es-4f26cf9671590db91c0217194c4b7c32.jpg?fit=280%2C169&quality=100&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":308113,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/como-han-evolucionado-tasas-de-homicidios-en-region-en-ultima-decada\/","url_meta":{"origin":6219,"position":0},"title":"\u00bfC\u00f3mo han evolucionado las tasas de homicidios en la regi\u00f3n en la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada?","author":"Juliana Manjarr\u00e9s","date":"24 de abril de 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"El crimen organizado \u2014y el tr\u00e1fico de coca\u00edna en particular\u2014 ha sido el principal motor de los homicidios en Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe durante la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada.
