Summary

Justine Teba and Maira Oliva-Rios traveled to Venezuela to observe the 2024 Presidential Elections. In this episode, they discuss the elements that constitute the electoral system and the importance of autonomy in Venezuela’s National Electoral Council.

This episode was recorded just as Maduro’s campaign--titled “Our 21st Century Venezuela”--was coming to an end. Dozens of avenues were flooded by hundreds of thousands of residents of Caracas, cheering, singing, and dancing in what was a huge electrifying socialist PARTY, filled with joy, hope, and peace.
