📑🖊 OPINION | Ballots and Bias: How the Press Framed Venezuela’s Regional and Legislative Elections Roger D. Harris analyzes how Western media framed Venezuela’s recent regional and legislative elections, where the pro-government alliance won 253 out of 285 National Assembly seats and all but one governorship. This included a symbolic victory in Barinas, birthplace of Hugo Chávez, won by his brother Adán Chávez. Harris highlights the disconnect between the electoral outcome and how it was reported by major outlets, which largely ignored grassroots support, the communal movement, and legal efforts to assert sovereignty. 📌 Read the full opinion piece here: https://venezuelanalysis.com/opinion/how-the-press-framed-venezuelas-regional-and-legislative-elections/ #Democracy#Elections#LegislativeRegionalElections2025#Media

📝OPINION | VA writer Andreína Chávez examines Venezuela's communes and grassroots democracy just in time for Sunday’s "National Popular Consultation." “If you speak to a Venezuelan engaged in grassroots organizing, you’ll find that to them democracy is about much more than counting ballots or electing politicians, and they reject foreign meddling as a matter of principle. True democracy demands a deep commitment to democratizing a country’s political and economic system, ensuring that people have control over the structures and resources that shape their lives.” 🔗Read the full opinion piece here:https://shorturl.at/MPLV3 #demcoracy#grassrootsdemocracy#communes#elections#popularvote#fyp#TheSubversiveTruth

Sociologist Reinaldo Iturriza delves into the phenomenon of “disaffiliation” in present-day Venezuela. "Political disaffiliation is what happens when a sector of the forces that identified with a certain project no longer recognizes itself in the present course of affairs or does not agree with the reorientation given by those exercising leadership roles. The disaffiliated individual is not willing to adopt what they interpret as a different course from the one that drove their identification with the project, and therefore can no longer see themselves in those who represent, so to speak, the political identity. Does the above imply a renunciation to the project, and even to its political identity? Absolutely not when it comes to the project, and not necessarily when it comes to political identity."
