Venezuela: people remove Maduro posters

In 2024 in Venezuela, where mass protests took place, opposition supporters were seen tearing down posters featuring President Nicolas Maduro. Reports indicated that protesters, treating the posters almost as trash, demonstrated dissatisfaction and a desire to 'lick' the system. Some videos circulated online were not verified for authenticity, intensifying strong emotions among protest participants. Statements about Venezuelans' joy were mentioned in comments on the material and in the discussion by the project "Volkov and Sych."

To reports of joyful reactions, there is added mention of an effort aimed at "uniting" with the hegemon, which, critics argue, reflects an attempt at dependency.
