VENEZUELA'S MEGA-ELECTIONS: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

A near-complete list of political parties are due to participate in this Sunday’s “mega-elections,” in which 3,082 public officers, including 23 state governors, 335 local mayors, 253 regional legislators and 2,471 local councillors, are to be chosen.

The ballot sees hard-right forces backtrack on their insurrectional tactics and return to the electoral path.

The race between the four main blocs (government, left, moderate right and hard-right) will provide a fascinating insight into the current balance of forces and could open a new chapter in the country’s democratic history.

Venezuelanalysis brings you this concise guide to the electoral process while highlighting some of the
more interesting races to keep an eye on.

VENEZUELA'S EL SISTEMA ATTEMPTS 'LARGEST ORCHESTRA' GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

Guinness World Records authorities have ten days to decide if the effort broke the current record set in 2019 when 8,097 musicians played the Russian national anthem in Saint Petersburg.

“It is a gigantic challenge, of course, a very complicated challenge, but [one] full of great pride, of great passion,” main orchestra conductor Andrés Ascanio said. Ascanio went on to remind those present that “what we are seeing here is a minimal representation of what we are: We are 1,012,000 children and youths in El Sistema,” as the System of Youth Symphonic Orchestras and Choirs is commonly known.

CANDIDATES DISCUSS THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS: A CONVERSATION WITH JESÚS GARCÍA AND JANOHI ROSAS

We want to shape our future from below. I believe that people’s participation in spaces of power is not a thing of the past. It isn’t idealism, quite the contrary! We are convinced that the most efficient way to build a better future is to do so hand-in-hand with the people: we want to build from and with the people, using a co-management model.

THE VENEZUELANALYSIS PODCAST EPISODE 03: BACK TO THE BALLOT

Venezuelans will head to the polls on November 21 for regional and local “mega-elections.” This election, the 27th since Chávez came to power, marks the first time since 2015 that Chavismo will face most of the opposition. In the latest episode of our podcast, we take stock of the political landscape ahead of these pivotal contests.

Host José Luis Granados Ceja talks to fellow VA writer Paul Dobson about the different political forces vying in these elections and some of the main issues at play in the campaign. Likewise featured is Venezuelan writer and theorist Reinaldo Iturriza, who analyzes the “disaffiliation” that has taken over politics and how Chavismo can revitalize its grassroots.

VENEZUELAN ENVOY ALEX SAAB PLEADS NOT GUILTY IN US COURT

Venezuelan government envoy Alex Saab pleaded not guilty to money laundering charges in a US federal court on Monday.

Saab faces a lone count of conspiracy to launder money, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if found guilty. Prosecutors requested the judge drop seven other changes as part of a deal with the Republic of Cape Verde to secure his extradition to the US. His trial is scheduled to begin on January 3, 2022, at 9 AM, though it is widely expected to be postponed.

CANDIDATES DISCUSS THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS: A CONVERSATION WITH JESÚS GARCÍA AND JANOHI ROSAS

In the face of the attempt to repeat the neoliberal recipe of the 1980s – which comes with great suffering for the people and loss of sovereignty – the APR and the PCV have put forth an alternative political proposal: the defense of social and labor rights, which are at the center of our political agenda.

In contrast, the PSUV leadership coincides with the right-wing opposition when they say that those of us who make proposals in favor of the people – such as the demand for a living wage as established in the constitution – as demagogy or ultra-leftism. This is proof that the leadership of the governing party has ceased to represent the interests of the people and is siding with private capital.
