Chavismo

Chavismo is a political movement in Venezuela named after Hugo Chávez, who was president from 1999 to 2013. It focuses on social programs aimed at reducing inequality by using Venezuela’s oil wealth to fund education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation. Chavismo combines democratic election processes with strong government intervention in the economy and society. Critics argue it has led to economic difficulties and authoritarian tendencies, while supporters believe it promotes social justice and empowerment for marginalized communities. Overall, it’s a political ideology centered on anti-imperialism, social welfare, and state control to achieve national sovereignty and social equality.
