Dozens of Venezuelan soldiers are standing guard to protect one of the last statues of Hugo Chávez from potential vandalization. The statue, located in a park in Caracas, was installed five years ago following the former president’s death. Due to the ongoing political and economic crisis in Venezuela, many statues and monuments of Chávez have been torn down by angry citizens who blame him for the country’s problems.
The soldiers, stationed at the park entrance, are there to prevent any acts of violence or destruction against the statue. They have been there for several days now, as tensions remain high in Venezuela, and protesters have demonstrated against the ruling government.
Hugo Chávez was a divisive figure in Venezuela, with some considering him a hero, while others view him as a dictator. His tenure as the country’s president was marked by a turbulent period of political and economic instability, with high crime rates, inflation, food and medicine shortages, and political corruption running rampant.
The idea of enduring statues and monuments of Chávez in Venezuela has been a contentious issue, with many Venezuelans feeling that their country is still feeling the effects of his policies. However, the soldiers guarding the statue in Caracas are ensuring that at least this one remnant of Chávez’s legacy remains untouched for the time being. It is unclear how long the soldiers will remain in place, but for now, the statue stands protected by Venezuela’s military.
