Primero Justicia chose a new president and, for the first time in its history, it’s a woman, María Beatriz Martínez. Whether this is just a gesture or a real sign of renovation is one of the subjects of this conversation
Up until not long ago, Voluntad Popular was considered by chavismo and the Venezuelan opposition to be the “radical party”; but after an insane political cycle and fierce persecution we take a look at where the party stands right now
Anchored in the nostalgia of power, the opposition has fought fiercely to gain control of the UCV student movement. Although it’s a legitimate struggle to capture new leaders, the strategy pushes university students further away

Both chavismo and opposition have reversed the progress made in electing women since 1989. The proof lies in the regional elections held in November 2021
It started with a split from AD and a regional party that built a national presence. Now, the return of Manuel Rosales is a symbol of Zulianos’ resilience and big hopes
During its long and meandering history, AD helped create the Venezuelan democracy, contributed to its demise and now seeks survival at any cost. What’s left of the old white party?

We’ve been able to hang on for 19 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. Now, the difficulty level was raised abruptly with the global pandemic.

But your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
