🫓 Dear friends of the blog,. As you know already, floods have hit Mérida and nearby states. The Venezuelan Andes really need our help. Many communities are cut off, roads and bridges gone, and thousands were left homeless. Here’s how you can support some relief efforts👇.

In recent years, rain-related disasters have hit Las Tejerías, Monte Carmelo, Cumanacoa—and now parts of the Andes and the Llanos. Why are these climate events becoming more destructive in Venezuela? Can they be prevented?. @Lugarizacion breaks it down👇

This year’s Caracas Pride parade felt different from 2023, with few signs against Maduro or denouncing police brutality and jailed activists. A period of unprecedented repression shaped an event that still stands as a symbol of resistance. Our story👇

According to sources within PSUV, mayors in 2023 were forced to meet with guerrilla commanders to align their agendas. The National Liberation Army was even empowered to choose candidates in some cases. Here's how the ELN rules over Casigua El Cubo👇.

🫓🇪🇸 Spain says it's dealing with the situation of a Spanish national captured by FANB in June, part of the crew of a Panamanian-flagged ship allegedly sailing in Venezuelan waters. @ForoPenal says Maduro is holding 85 foreign nationals hostage, including two other Spaniards.
📢Las autoridades consulares españolas están haciendo las gestiones necesarias para recabar información de un ciudadano español detenido en #Venezuela, que formaba parte de la tripulación de un barco con bandera de #Panamá interceptado por la FANB el #19Jun. 📌 @EFEnoticias

🫓 Irfaan Ali's rival (OFAC-sanctioned) doesn't look like 'monedita de oro' either. Gold mining is huge in 🇬🇾. Maduro and Ali have been trading insults lately. Ali lobbies Washington branding Maduro and Mohamed as sovereignty threats; Maduro says Ali leads an illegal gold mafia.
🇬🇾 | Guyanese mining magnate and presidential candidate Azruddin Mohamed insists he is committed to clearing his name after a murder investigation was revived. It is not the first time Mohamed has been in investigators’ sights:

🫓🇬🇾 Rep. Giménez claiming that gold magnate Azruddin Mohamed—now running against President Irfaan Ali—is a Maduro puppet. Elections are in 2 months. Guyanese outlet @newssourcegy revealed this week that a lobbying firm hired by the Ali government paid Giménez to attack Mohamed.
🚨La dictadura asesina en #Venezuela está intentando socavar la democracia en #Guyana con candidatos corruptos que son verdaderos caballos de Troya. No podemos permitir que Guyana caiga en manos de Nicolás Maduro a través del candidato predilecto del régimen: Azruddin Mohamed.

This is Casigua El Cubo, where the ELN forces local “offenders” (e.g. thieves) to clean the town square or work like slaves in guerrilla camps. The local priest even had to flee after the guerrilleros interrogated two church employees #LaHoraDeVenezuela👇

🫓 No stats in Venezuela on how many LGBTQ+ people are murdered, attacked, or face discrimination every year. UNHCR just reported discrimination against imprisoned LGBTQ+ people, including teenagers, who among other things were forced to “perform tasks for other detainees.”

Diosdado Cabello had a 72-year-old man arrested today for allegedly passing info to the US about Venezuela having Iranian missiles and harboring terrorists. This piece debunks a few myths and clarifies key aspects of the chavismo-Iran relationship👇

🫓 Whatever you may or may not think about the UN, those reports from the Bachelet and Türk offices (OHCHR) will stand as some of the most powerful and enduring records of Maduro & Co’s doings for decades to come. You can just have a look👇

🫓🇺🇳 Just Maduro, Jorge R, Saab, etc casually insulting Volker Türk following his latest 🇻🇪 update. They're furious. Btw, that UN doc covers LOADS in 20 pages: desaparecidos, resurgence of hospital shortages, abuse against indigenous ppl, gender-based violence in Vzlan prisons +.
Venezuelan lawmakers declare UN human rights official Turk persona non grata

A town south of Lake Maracaibo lives under the ELN's absolute control—from political influence and 24/7 surveillance to the recruitment of indigenous people. #LaHoraDeVenezuela spoke to locals and uncovered the reality in Casigua El Cubo👇

Levitsky & Ziblatt warn that democracy falters when crisis meets a leader bent on dismantling checks and balances. In Memorias, Osío Cabrices recalls how the 1999 Vargas tragedy let Chávez rise as a savior, not just an avenger. A playbook and a memoir👇.
