Burping the Economy
Yesterday at the ANC, Maduro burped lies and announced economic measures that won’t fix the economy. César Miguel Rondón had to interview Juan Guaidó on Instagram.

Dictatorships are hard but brittle: sometimes you hit them 100 times and never see a crack, then at the 101st blow they split right open. So is Juan Guaidó delivering the 101st blow? Or the 23rd?
Jesús Soto died 14 years ago today. His endlessly photographed Esfera de Caracas spent years in storage. How did it end up in its glorious location, right by the Parque del Este?
SEBIN’s actions against Guaidó made them look like regular thieves and kidnappers with badges, Jorge Rodríguez stumbles to find a version that suits the government, authorities at the HCU don’t know exactly how many patients have died because of the blackout.
During a politically convulsed weekend, a blackout leaves one of Caracas’ biggest hospitals without electricity for hours, causing several deaths and highlighting—for the millionth time—the urgent need for political change in the country.
While Maduro was being illegitimately “sworn in” as the “President” of Venezuela for the next six years, a majority of OAS member states officially refused to recognize the legitimacy of his new term. What does it mean?
A Friday of confusion, Naky's here with the truth of everything that was told, what wasn't, what was implied, and what people totally made up, about Juan Guaidó's speech regarding power today in Venezuela. Oh, and the Battle of Wikipedia.
What’s Ariana’s crime? Having a family member thought to be plotting against the government. A new human rights low.
Confusion is rife over what exactly National Assembly Speaker Guaidó really said at today’s “Cabildo” assembly. No, he did not proclaim himself president. Yes, he said he’s ready to do so. Soon. And called for protests.
On the day of his “inauguration” the streets around the TSJ weren’t even half full. Caracas traffic didn’t collapse because of hundreds of buses, like we saw during chavismo’s golden years. Some people were honest about being there for the free food, others weren’t sure about questions of legitimacy.
We’ve been able to hang on for 21 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
