Podcasts about Chavismo

In this episode of The Burn Bag, host A'ndre Gonawela is joined by Tony Frangie Mawad, a Venezuela-based journalist and political scientist, to unpack how Venezuela reached its current moment. Long before U.S. strikes and regime collapse, Venezuela's trajectory was shaped by the rise of Hugo Chávez, the ideology of Chavismo, and the steady erosion of democratic institutions under both Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro.Together, they trace how a resource-rich country descended into economic collapse and authoritarian rule — examining the role of oil, populism, repression, and policy choices that reshaped Venezuelan society over two decades. The conversation provides essential historical context for understanding why Venezuela's political system proved so resilient, and why recent events did not emerge in a vacuum.This is Part One of A'ndre's two-part conversation with Tony on Venezuela. Part Two will examine the U.S. strikes, the arrest of Maduro, and what this turning point means for U.S.–Venezuela relations and the country's future.

** Further questions about this episode? You're in luck. Tuesday evening, January 20th, Ricardo Vaz will be with us during Macro ‘n Chill, our online gathering. Find the registration link at the top of our website: realprogressives.orgSteve opens in a subdued mood brought on by the dizzying speed of ‘current events.' For this episode he's stepping back and looking at Venezuela. News reports are working hard to create confusion. On social media US citizens claim that kidnapping a sitting president is justified if you don't like him. Or if he's socialist.To understand a situation, it must be considered historically, materially, and as a connected process. With that in mind, Ricardo Vaz of Venezuelanalysis, joins Steve to talk about what the Bolivarian Revolution actually was – on the ground – beyond the familiar US media caricatures. Ricardo walks through key turning points in the Chávez era and the social gains that reshaped everyday life. But there's a bigger question that haunts every revolutionary project. How do you build new forms of democratic power while the old state machinery, domestic elites, and hostile external forces push back?(Does this sound familiar? It will if you took part in RP Book Club's study of State and Revolution)From there, the conversation follows the oil thread. It's not a single-cause explanation, but it's where sovereignty, development, and imperial pressure collide. Steve and Ricardo unpack how the hydrocarbons industry evolved, what “nationalization” really meant in practice, and why the fight over Venezuela's resources can't be separated from US strategy in the hemisphere.They then look into the Maduro years, sanctions, economic siege, and the constant tug-of-war inside Venezuela between survival policies and revolutionary horizons. This includes a clear-eyed look at opposition figures and the narratives that dominate US talking points. The episode closes with a grounded discussion of why Venezuela matters as a 21st-century political experiment, and what meaningful solidarity looks like when the headlines are designed to mislead and misdirect.Ricardo Vaz grew up in Mozambique with strong political leanings and a clear anti-imperialist outlook, which led him early on to closely follow the Bolivarian Revolution and Chavismo in Venezuela. After living in various countries and continents, he moved to Venezuela in early 2019. Although trained in theoretical physics, he gradually shifted into journalism and political analysis, joining the Venezuela Analysis staff as a writer and editor in 2018. His main interests include sanctions, popular power organizations, and corporate media coverage of Venezuela. He is also a member of grassroots media collectives including Tatuy TV and Utopix.venezuelanalysis.com@venanalysis on X

Diego Sequera, award winning journalist and writer based in Caracas, Venezuela, discusses the recent kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and former member of the National Assembly, Cilia Flores, delving into Venezuela's complex historical landscape. He begins with the Caracazo uprising of 1989, which revealed deep socioeconomic inequalities while uniting the working class against President Carlos Andrés Pérez's austerity measures. Sequera notes that this context set the stage for the rise of Chavismo, notably through Hugo Chávez's transformation from a coup leader to an elected president by 1999. Sequera critiques the neoliberal policies, growing foreign debt, and the resulting polarization exacerbated by anti-Communist sentiments while linking Chávez's Bolivarian Revolution to contemporary global conflicts, scrutinizing political figures like Maria Corina Machado for their role in societal divisions. Furthermore, he addresses the role of US foreign policy, detailing the sanctions imposed, starting with the Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Act of 2014 and culminating in the 2015 “Obama decree” ((Executive Order 13692), which targeted the Venezuelan oil industry ultimately aiming to destabilise the country both economically and politically. Sequera critically analyzes the rhetoric of US politicians who categorize Venezuela as a “narco-state” and suggest foreign interference in the 2020 US elections, as he draws parallels between Venezuela, Iran, and Gaza in critiquing the selective moral blindness of Western nations towards their participation in human rights abuses and loss of life in these regions, reflecting on the broader implications of foreign policy decisions on Venezuela's plight.

Luis Herrero analiza junto a Luca Costantini y Maite Loureiro las últimas informaciones sobre Venezuela.

In 1999 Hugo Chavez was elected President of Venezuela, beginning a years-long ‘Bolivarian Revolution,' following multiple coup attempts, and time in prison. Chavez would go on to govern the country as President until his death in 2013 — passing sweeping anti-poverty programs, nationalizing oil and industry, and opposing US hegemony in the region. Just before his death, Chavez hand selected Nicolas Maduro as the person to carry forward his political program and legacy. Maduro's time in power was hamstrung between domestic mismanagement, US sanction regimes, and authoritarian crackdowns. But at the core of his time in power was the ‘Chavismo' political ideology, created in the image of his predecessor. For a better sense of Venezuela's modern political history, we have a look at its central characters: Simon Bolivar, Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. Today, we're joined by Alejandro Velasco, a professor of Latin American history at New York University, and author of ‘Barrio Rising: Urban Popular Politics and the Making of Modern Venezuela.'For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

After midnight on January 3, 2026, the Trump administration bombed Venezuelan military sites and extracted the country's authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro. President Trump declared that the United States is now "running" Venezuela and emphasized access to its oil reserves. The rest of Maduro's government—the key political figures, the generals, the intelligence chiefs, the colectivos—remains in place. In this episode recorded January 6, as shockwaves from this historic intervention spread across the hemisphere, host Adam Isacson speaks with WOLA President Carolina Jiménez Sandoval and Venezuela Program Director Laura Dib about what just happened, the serious risks ahead, and what comes next. The conversation covers: The immediate humanitarian situation: continued repression, a looming economic crisis, and uncertainty about who is actually in charge. Why Washington appears ready to work with Chavismo—the same authoritarian structure it claimed to oppose—while sidelining Venezuela's democratic opposition. The dangerous precedent this sets for U.S. relations with the rest of Latin America, where the Trump administration's new security strategy presents governments with a stark choice between alignment with Washington or being labeled a threat. What solidarity with the Venezuelan people actually looks like when their agency has been pushed aside by both their own government and the intervening power. "International law exists precisely to limit the naked power of states," Jiménez Sandoval says. "To have one of those superpowers, under President Trump, disregard those basic rules of engagement is very alarming." "Human rights standards provide us with lenses that are universal," Dib adds. "That means going beyond condemnation—thinking about what can be done to stand in solidarity with Venezuelans, reclaiming their agency, and providing support to democratic forces."

Monólogo de Alsina: "Nace el chavismo dócil e intervenido"

En este episodio el Profesor Ángel Rosa analiza las implicaciones políticas de la caída de Nicolás Maduro y la pregunta de fondo que muchos evitan: ¿se trata del fin de un liderazgo o del fin de un proyecto de poder? Más allá del desenlace inmediato, el episodio examina si el chavismo —como estructura política, red de lealtades e ideología— realmente colapsa o si se adapta para sobrevivir sin su figura central. Con contexto histórico, lectura regional y mirada crítica, el Profesor Rosa explica por qué los regímenes no siempre caen cuando cae su líder, y qué lecciones deja Venezuela para América Latina y el debate democrático contemporáneo. ¡No te lo pierdas!

Detrás de la captura de Nicolás Maduro están Trump, el ejército, la CIA... pero el autor esencial del golpe y quien tiene línea con Delcy Rodríguez es Marco Rubio, el jefe de la política exterior de Estados Unidos. En su día rivalizó con Donald Trump. Hoy es la persona con más poder de su círculo. Y lleva desde 2019 intentando forzar un cambio de régimen en Caracas. En una entrevista a la cadena estadounidense CBS este domingo, Rubio aseguró que la Casa Blanca descarta a la oposición venezolana “a corto plazo”, en la línea de lo que Trump expresó el día anterior sobre María Corina Machado. Macarena Vidal Liy, corresponsal en Washington de EL PAÍS, conversa con Ana Fuentes sobre el papel de Rubio, sus orígenes y las apuestas a las que ha fiado su capital político.

The government is still weighing technical and safety concerns, and the decision is complicated by the 1983 U.S. invasion and the airport's symbolic significance. Colombia remains the strongest partner, working closely with the United States on counter-narcotics, sanctions enforcement, and intelligence sharing, while also coordinating policy on the region's largest population of Venezuelan refugees. Paraguay and Uruguay consistently vote with Washington at the OAS to isolate Maduro and support democratic transition efforts. Ecuador works with the United States on organized crime, Venezuelan gang activity, and sanctions evasion, and has been publicly critical of the regime.  Maduro's remaining allies in the region are Cuba and Nicaragua, but neither is positioned to provide meaningful assistance.

Estamos en un momento de máxima tensión en el Caribe, con el fantasma de la intervención de Estados Unidos. Washington ha designado organización terrorista al Cártel de los Soles, mientras continúa su despliegue militar —el mayor en décadas— frente a las costas de Venezuela. El ataque parece inminente y la cuestión es si van a derrocar a Nicolás Maduro. Lo analizamos con Daniel Lozano, periodista de EL MUNDO en las Américas, y Pablo R. Suanzes, corresponsal de EL MUNDO en WashingtonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

¿Dónde está Rusia? ¿Dónde están los buques, los misiles, la supuesta defensa militar que prometieron para Venezuela? En este video desmantelamos el nuevo humo chavista que busca vender una falsa sensación de respaldo geopolítico. Tras el bloqueo real de un tanquero petrolero sancionado por EE.UU. el viernes 21 de noviembre, ni el régimen ni Rusia han reaccionado. ¿No era que estaban listos para defender a Maduro? Desmentimos punto por punto todas las falacias: - No hay misiles rusos instalados. - No hay respuesta militar de Moscú. - No hay defensa naval ni aérea. Lo único que sí hay es una deuda de más de 3.5 billones de dólares que Venezuela le debe a Rusia, y un nuevo acuerdo firmado para que empresas rusas sigan sacando petróleo por 15 años más. ¿Defensa o cobradores armados? Analizamos también la mentira viral de militares huyendo, el artículo de El Estímulo que expone las falsedades de ambos bandos, y te explicamos cómo esta narrativa de guerra es el cuento de “Juanito y el Lobo”: el día que algo ocurra, nadie lo va a creer.Este video va sin filtros. Ni chavismo, ni falsa oposición. Solo verdad.

Renzo Yasir Huamanchumo Castillo, peruano que estuvo detenido 10 meses en Venezuela, donde el régimen chavista lo acusó sin pruebas de preparar un plan para asesinar al mandatario Nicolas Maduro, calificó de "pesadilla" el tiempo que estuvo encarcelado.

La semana pasada el portaaviones Gerald Ford llegó al Caribe, lo que convierte al despliegue aeronaval frente a Venezuela en el mayor que ha organizado la armada de Estados Unidos en varias décadas. Lo están complementando con vuelos de bombarderos B-52 y B-1 que han realizado simulacros de bombardeo a menos de 20 millas de la costa venezolana. A finales de octubre los medios informaron que Trump ha revisado personalmente una lista de objetivos, lo que podría significar que planean un ataque inminente. Hasta ahora se han limitado a hundir lanchas sospechosas de transportar drogas, lo que sin duda ha afectado al régimen chavista ya que una parte de sus ingresos proviene del narcotráfico. Pero un despliegue semejante para tan poca cosa parece desproporcionado. Trump ha prometido escalar la campaña con la intención expresa de derrocar a Nicolás Maduro y poner fin a su régimen. Una invasión terrestre es improbable por dos razones de peso: el despliegue no está configurado para ello y va contra los principios de política exterior de Trump, que desde 2017 rechaza cambios de régimen al estilo Irak. En una entrevista hace unos días negó que tuviese la intención de invadir Venezuela pero, a renglón seguido, aseguró que los días de Maduro están contados. Su objetivo es acabar con el chavismo, pero sin intervención directa, seguramente apostando por un colapso interno animado desde fuera. EEUU podría contribuir a ese colapso con inteligencia, operaciones encubiertas y posibles ataques quirúrgicos desde la distancia. Esto podría provocar movilizaciones opositoras, presión callejera y una rebelión militar. Es lo último que falta por probar en Venezuela. Todas las medidas anteriores (sanciones, aislamiento diplomático y apoyo internacional a la oposición) han dañado la imagen del chavismo, pero no han conseguido ni acabar con él, ni ablandarlo. El chavismo se vale continuamente de negociaciones dilatorias. Ofrece diálogo a cambio de una tregua y entretanto gana tiempo y arranca concesiones que luego retiene. Dentro de Venezuela Trump tendrá muchos apoyos. Tras el fraude electoral del año pasado la oposición, exhausta y frustrada, ve en él una esperanza. El chavismo no es una dictadura convencional, sino una banda criminal que controla un Estado petrolero y obtiene cuantiosos ingresos del narcotráfico y la minería ilegal. Hasta ahora se ha intentado forzar a Gobierno de Maduro a equivocarse o facilitar una transición dialogada. Nada ha funcionado. Solo queda apostar activamente por una implosión del régimen sin invasión directa, pero interviniendo mediante operaciones encubiertas y ataques a objetivos muy localizados que podrían activar el instinto de autopreservación de las fuerzas armadas. Desconocemos si en eso consiste el plan, pero ningún Gobierno estadounidense ha presionado tanto desde que se instauró el chavismo, lo que abre posibilidades inéditas hasta ahora. El éxito depende de que los planes sean realistas, tengan apoyo en casa y se ejecuten correctamente. Pero no hay nada garantizado, ni siquiera la intervención misma.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! El comité Nobel noruego acaba de otorgar el Premio Nobel de la Paz a la opositora venezolana María Corina Machado en reconocimiento por su lucha de muchos años para devolver la democracia en Venezuela y combatir la dictadura de Nicolás Maduro. Machado, una caraqueña de 58 años, es una figura muy conocida en su país y goza de un amplio apoyo, pero el chavismo no puede con ella. Su trayectoria política comenzó hace quince años como diputada, pero antes había presidido ya una ONG, Súmate, dedicada a exigir transparencia electoral, algo muy necesario en un régimen como el chavista que manipula las elecciones de forma rutinaria. Uno de sus primeros logros fue en 2004 cuando consiguió las firmas necesarias para celebrar un referéndum revocatorio contra Hugo Chávez, que, aunque se perdió, mostró un apoyo significativo a la oposición. Como diputada de 2011 a 2014, se significó por su confrontación directa con el régimen y eso le hizo ganar cierta notoriedad internacional. A diferencia de otros opositores que tratan de negociar e incluso encontrar acomodo dentro del chavismo, Machado mantiene una postura firme de oposición a la dictadura. Machado hace una enmienda a la totalidad del régimen chavista, un sistema político que ha convertido Venezuela en una brutal dictadura. La erosión de las libertades y el Estado de derecho comenzó en los primeros años de Chávez, se fue consolidando después y, con la llegada de Maduro, terminaron quitándose definitivamente la careta. El resultado es una crisis múltiple: económica, política y social que ha empujado a más de 8 millones de venezolanos al exilio, un éxodo sin precedentes en tiempos de paz. Este colapso contrasta con la época en la que Venezuela era un país al que acudían inmigrantes de todo el mundo. El Nobel a Machado es, en definitiva, un golpe al régimen de Maduro y a sus aliados de extrema izquierda, que ven en ella una amenaza por su popularidad y resistencia. El año pasado no pudo presentarse a las elecciones porque Maduro ordenó su inhabilitación, prestó apoyo entonces a Edmundo González, cuya victoria fue certificada por observadores independientes, lo que no fue obstáculo para que Maduro perpetrase un grosero fraude electoral. Tras ello González se tuvo que marchar a España y Machado pasó a la clandestinidad, desde donde lidera la oposición, pero sin salir de Venezuela. El premio llega en un momento de presión internacional contra el régimen chavista. EEUU ha emprendido una operación naval en el Caribe para luchar contra el narcotráfico vinculado al régimen. Su Gobierno también ofrece una elevada recompensa de 50 millones de dólares por la captura de Maduro. Aunque una invasión parece improbable, la tensión se ha incrementado en los dos últimos meses. El Nobel va en esa dirección. Visibiliza la lucha de Machado y complica cualquier acción del régimen contra ella ya que eso tendría un gran impacto internacional. Con o sin premio, María Corina Machado representa una esperanza para la transición democrática en un país donde el chavismo, hoy reducido a una simple maquinaria de represión y saqueo, ha aplastado a la sociedad civil. Su mensaje, que cala entre las clases populares, es que los problemas de Venezuela no son errores puntuales de la revolución, sino consecuencia directa de esa revolución. Su valentía y elocuencia la posicionan como persona a tener en cuenta para cuando en Venezuela vuelva a amanecer tras la larga noche del chavismo.

Relações do governo Lula com o Chavismo, com o governo de Nicolas Maduro estarão na mesa de discussão, bem como com outras nações e mais questões políticas direcionando as conversas.

Vuelve uno de mis más solicitados ( y controversiales? ) invitados, Ivan Barrantes para conversar sobre que pensamos pasará en esta temporada electoral. ¿Quién será el próximo o próxima president@ de Costa Rica? ¿Como se esta moviendo el Chavismo? ¿Realmente desapareció el PAC y el PLN? Todo esto y más, en una muy amena conversación que nos quedó corta.

El llamado Cartel de los Soles se refiere a una presunta red criminal integrada por altos mandos militares y funcionarios venezolanos, vinculada al narcotráfico, al lavado de dinero, la minería ilegal y otras actividades ilícitas.La pregunta es: ¿Existe realmente? El ex fiscal venezolano Zair Mundaray, exiliado en EEUU, explica los mecanismos de esta organización. Estados Unidos califica al Cartel de los Soles como “una organización criminal que se hace pasar por un gobierno”. Esta semana, el gobierno argentino lo declaró “organización terrorista”. En contraste, el presidente de Colombia, Gustavo Petro, sostiene que no existe y lo describe como “una excusa ficticia de la extrema derecha para derribar gobiernos que no obedecen”. Frente a estas versiones, el ex fiscal venezolano Zair Mundaray, exiliado en Estados Unidos y crítico del chavismo, cree que “hay decenas de testimonios dentro del sistema de justicia norteamericano que dan cuenta de que Chávez creía en la posibilidad de que, en vez de combatir a los carteles y las organizaciones terroristas que hacen vida en Colombia, estas pudieran tener una forma de contribuir de alguna manera a la seguridad del proceso político". Estados Unidos acusa al presidente Nicolás Maduro de encabezar esta organización narcoterrorista, cuyo nombre hace referencia a una insignia de los militares de Venezuela. Según el ex fiscal, "muchas personas que formaron parte de esta planificación criminal han declarado y han sido detenidos, hay colaboradores, es decir, el Cartel de los Soles tiene un sustento probatorio". "Miente Petro, sobre todo cuando dice que no existe, porque la misma inteligencia colombiana era plenamente consciente de la participación de altos funcionarios no sólo de la Fuerza Armada Nacional, sino de organismos de seguridad de Estado".  Zair Mundaray, estudioso del narcotráfico, explica por qué el Cartel de los Soles es una organización criminal particular: A diferencia de los carteles de México o Colombia, quienes controlan las operaciones formarían parte del propio Estado venezolano. "En el caso venezolano los que llegaron al poder se convirtieron en narcotraficantes. No estás hablando de un cártel como un cártel mexicano o el Clan del Golfo. Estamos hablando de  quienes están sentados en las oficinas públicas del Estado venezolano y tienen todo el poder de fuego y el dominio territorial", explica el experto.  Para el ex fiscal Mundaray, una de las pruebas más claras de la existencia del Cartel de los Soles está en un hecho paradójico: en Venezuela no se registra la violencia ligada al narcotráfico que sí golpea a países como Colombia. "El narco no ha traído los niveles de violencia que tiene Colombia. Puedes traficar miles de de toneladas y pasar por donde sea, y nadie se está matando por ello, como sí ocurre en Colombia cuando el Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) pisa el territorio de la disidencia o cuando el Clan del Golfo pelea por su espacio. Aquí no hace falta eso, porque tienes una fuerza armada que lo hace y el que lo haga fuera de ese control sí lo alcanza la mano del Estado y lo apresa. Esto es una de las perversidades mayores del sistema creado por el chavismo".

Tres buques de guerra y unos 4.000 militares. Ese es el despliegue que ordenó EE. UU. cerca de las costas de Venezuela. La Casa Blanca aseguró que su objetivo es combatir el tráfico de drogas. Pero el Gobierno de Nicolás Maduro, por quien Washington ofrece una recompensa de 50 millones de dólares, ha advertido de una "amenaza regional". Además, respondió convocando a 4,5 millones de milicianos.

Muy atrás dejamos febrero del 2022 cuando elegimos nuevos alcaldes y alcaldesas municipales representando orgullosos a sus respectivos partidos políticos. En agosto del año pasado la titular del PLN de Buenos Aires, Margoth Mora Navarro, renunció a la agrupación y le dio su adhesión a Rodrigo Chaves. Aunque no hubo mayor alerta, llamó la atención que abandonara al partido que la había llevado al cargo en ese momento, pues los cambios de esa naturaleza (aunque pocos) suelen darse cuando se avecinan las elecciones de gobiernos locales. Pero la cuestión ahora es que en los últimos seis meses -de marzo a hoy- se han producido 12 abandonos para unirse al chavismo. Afectados varios partidos. Tres bajas registran el PLN y el PUSC, dos salidas Unidos Podemos y Progreso Social y una el Liberal, el Republicano y hasta un partido cantonal. Y como si fuera poco, la candidata oficialista anunció que llegarán más alcaldes en la búsqueda, claro, de posibles diputaciones y otras opciones “interesantes” de ascenso político laboral. Por su parte, el vehículo Pueblo Soberano podría ganar mucho con la política de la seducción. Un golpe de efecto de fuerza electoral y de victoria anticipada y también un incremento plausible de recursos económicos de la deuda política en los próximos procesos electorales 2026 y 2028. Para analizar estas variables conversamos con el politólogo Daniel Calvo.

Un año después del obsceno fraude electoral en las elecciones presidenciales, el chavismo ha logrado concentrar todo el poder del Estado en sus manos gracias a la labor de los propagandistas del régimen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
