Public backlash By mid June, 2019, Palacios wrote an OpEd in El Tiempo, the main journal of the Country, where she affirmed that since Venezuelans are accustomed to having children in order to receive government subsidies, they are now spreading this practice in her country in order to obtain supposed benefits."Dear Venezuelans -wrote Palacios- It is not like this in your country and it is good that it is not so, because at the end of the subsidies, the socialism of the 21st century made the richest country in the region very poor. If you continue to reproduce the way you do, it would be even harder to see them as an opportunity for development as a problem."The journalist remarks were highly criticized by Human Rights Organizations, journalists, and activists.
