Revolución Bolivariana

The Revolución Bolivariana is a political movement in Venezuela initiated by Hugo Chávez in 1999, aimed at reducing inequality and promoting social justice through socialist policies. It seeks to empower marginalized communities, increase state control over resources, and implement social programs like healthcare and education. Named after Simón Bolívar, the movement emphasizes sovereignty, anti-imperialism, and social welfare. While it has achieved progress in reducing poverty, it also faces criticism over economic challenges, political polarization, and concerns about democratic institutions. Overall, it represents a effort to reshape Venezuela’s social and economic structure based on principles of sovereignty and social justice.
