> New pro-government campaign distorts causes and consequences of protests and post-election repression in 2024
>
> A video campaign shared by pro-government channels promotes disinformation narratives about the use of social media in Venezuela and its effects.
>
> In one of the videos, facts are manipulated to blame María Corina Machado for the victims of the protests. The phrases "we will collect" and "until the end" were used to peacefully demand the publication of election results, not to promote violence. Maria Corina Machado never called for violence and advocated peaceful means to protest the election results. The protests arose as a reaction to the results announced by the CNE, not by Machado's supporters, and repression was the cause of most of the victims.

> Another video uses emotional propaganda to blame Machado for dividing the country or trivializes the economic crisis in Venezuela, promoting the narrative "Venezuela has fixed itself." This contrasts with the facts of the economic contraction of more than 8 years from which the country is only just beginning to recover. This video reinforces the narrative about supposed economic prosperity in Venezuela, showing clips of parties and Christmas lights, but ignoring the fact that the economic contraction experienced in the country has not yet been overcome.

> The campaign is fueled by the theory of "cognitive warfare" with which the government tries to explain the presence of information threats on social networks, making a false equivalence between viral challenges (a theme present in other campaign videos) and opposition messages that encourage citizen participation.

I had the same question to ask you, they are normally made on a gas stove, but since it takes a long time to cook it is not unreasonable to make it on the stove. In each region of Venezuela the hallaca has slight variations.

There is a nest of Peruvian eagles where I live and I have not been able to take a good photo of them. It is impressive to see them hunt other smaller birds and hear their peculiar sounds in the mornings.

It was fun, my daughter told me it was the best gift Santa Claus ever brought her.

Seriously, thank you so much for these photos, I haven't been with my family for a long time and I can't remember the last time I tied a hallaca. I love seeing the teamwork and family unity in these photos.



The Christmas you miss by not being in Peru

Lol so I saw several people yesterday, it was very funny

1- Grinch police (This is why nobody takes the police seriously in Peru)

3- Clothes are thrown out of the windows of Gamarra (it is a market with several galleries selling clothes individually and wholesale)
4- Fireworks at 12am

Merry Christmas Stackers

Christmas on this side of the planet is hot, nothing like what the advertisements sell.

I have the advantage of living 15 minutes from the beach, so it is a good option to spend this day.

Since I emigrated, I have to improvise ideas to celebrate this day. In Venezuela, it is customary to have a family dinner eating hallacas, ham bread, chicken salad and black roast. We exchange gifts and the children play with fireworks. But my family is far away, it is just my husband, my daughter and I. Every Christmas we try to do something different. This year it was going to the beach and having pizza for dinner. This Christmas I didn't even want to listen to the typical Venezuelan Christmas music, although I did want to eat hallacas and ham bread.
