VOICED : El triunfo del chavismo en tres votos

In Petare, Venezuela's largest favela, residents like José face daily hardships, often eating just once a day. Despite these challenges, many continue to support the officialist party, valuing the legacy of Hugo Chávez and the social programs provided under chavismo. The recent elections saw the officialists win 18 of 23 governorships, though the opposition reported irregularities. The preference for chavismo is rooted in its focus on the poor, despite economic struggles like high inflation. Fear of violence and political retribution also influences voting decisions. Petare, part of the state of Miranda, has a complex political history, with some residents wary of opposition leaders like Enrique Capriles. Overall, the community remains hopeful in the social revolution that promises to support the impoverished.
