Maduro's Bold Claim: Chavismo Poised to Win Despite Being a Minority

Caracas, Venezuela – May 23, 2025. In a surprising statement at the closing rally for Venezuela's regional and parliamentary elections, President Nicolás Maduro declared that Chavismo, despite representing a minority, is set to win the upcoming elections on May 25th. "El chavismo es minoría y va a ganar las elecciones," Maduro stated to a large crowd. This statement, captured on video by Unitel Bolivia, has sparked debate and raised questions about the accuracy of pre-election polls and the potential for an upset. The video shows Maduro speaking passionately, his words punctuated by enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. The short video clip focuses on Maduro's statement and provides a visual representation of the event. While the video's short length limits the broader context, it clearly highlights a key moment in the Venezuelan election campaign. The statement itself is controversial, given the widespread belief that Chavismo holds a minority position in the current political landscape. The upcoming election will be critical in determining the future political trajectory of Venezuela.
