During his past decade in power, Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro has been many things. But now, he has a new face: a TikTok influencer.
You’ll notice that in the videos posted on Maduro’s TikTok account there is a noticeable lack of regime imagery, such as the “of Chávez” and other Socialist Party paraphernalia that we all instinctively associate with the regime’s brutality, repression, and other heinous acts.
Men on motorcycles ride past a mural depicting Venezuela’s late President Hugo Chavez in Caracas, Venezuela, March 2, 2023. A person passes by a mural painting with a caricature of US President George W.Bush in Caracas on September 12, 2008. Those haven’t gone away. It’s just that they are not good PR for Maduro’s show and his “clean” rebrand.
Suffice it to say, the backlash was so astoundingly huge that some of the influencers ended up issuingshortly afterward.
“There was no check, because if I don’t work I don’t eat, I don’t care about politics or anything like that, many think that you just arrive, they give you a check, and say welcome to the ‘plug’ and it’s not like that,” Marcano said on the video. “I feel proud because someone who rules the country saw me.”
