The result in Barinas is 'catastrophic' for national Chavismo, according to analysts
10 Jan 2022
|

|
Spanish
| Venezuelan Politics
The electoral defeat of Chavismo in Barinas, a state governed by Hugo Chávez's family for 23 years, is deemed catastrophic for Nicolás Maduro's government. Sergio Garrido, the opposition candidate, won the governorship by a significant margin, highlighting Chavismo's declining popularity despite winning most governorships in recent elections. Analysts criticize the government's use of undemocratic tactics and suggest the result deepens the political rift within the ruling coalition. The election underscores the importance of local political leadership and may influence future opposition alliances. The outcome also signals a potential shift in political strategy towards grassroots engagement.

An international summit in Lima, Peru, highlighted the United States' imposition of its toughest sanctions yet on Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro. The Trump administration rejected compromises and doubled down on its maximum pressure policy to oust Maduro, freezing Venezuelan state assets in the U.S. and warning third parties against doing business with Maduro's regime.
