Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela

The Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (United Socialist Party of Venezuela, PSUV) is the main political party supporting the government of Nicolás Maduro. Founded in 2007 to unify socialist and pro-government groups, it advocates for socialist principles, social justice, and economic reforms aimed at reducing inequality. The PSUV plays a central role in Venezuelan politics, organizing elections, policies, and government initiatives aligned with its socialist ideology. While it claims to represent the interests of the working class and marginalized groups, critics argue that its rule has been associated with authoritarian tendencies, economic challenges, and political polarization.
