Context piece
- The article examines how Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro presented the Bolivarian Revolution as an enduring political era.
- It describes the project’s proclaimed break with Venezuela’s neoliberal past and the Caracazo uprising.
Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro wanted Venezuelans to believe that the era of the Bolivarian Revolution would last forever, like Cuba’s.
The beginning of this new age was presented as a rupture not only with the country’s more immediate neoliberal past in the 1980s and 1990s, but also with the Caracazo uprising. The article frames this project as the arrival of a supposed golden age for Venezuela.
