The residents of the Brickell neighborhood of Miami were reportedly terrorized on Tuesday by graffiti messages alluding to Venezuela’s socialist regime and its dictator, Nicolás Maduro. “The Bolivarian Fury and the colored rooster are here,” the graffiti read, Con estas pintas o graffitis amaneció un edificio en pleno Brickell, Miami. 🇻 pic.
twitter.com/nea9sZ31iF — Maria Alesia Sosa (@MariaAlesiaSosa) August 20, 2024 The picture of the graffiti, originally posted online by Univision journalist Maria Alesia Sosa, reportedly went rapidly viral on social media as many users expressed their surprise and concern upon seeing a pro-Maduro graffiti in Miami, given its status as home to one of the largest Venezuelan diaspora communities in America. “Bolivarian Fury” is the name of an ongoing brutal crackdown launched by Maduro in January against political dissidents, activists, and critics of the rogue socialist regime in Venezuela.
At the time of its announcement, Maduro claimed that the “Bolivarian Fury” campaign was necessary to stop assassination plots against him. In the past several months, the Maduro regime has used “Bolivarian Fury” to arrest dozens of civilians and members of the military, including activist and lawyer Rocío San Miguel, who the Maduro regime accused of being involved in the dubious and unproven assassination plot against Maduro. The crackdown also saw the arrest of several members of Vente Venezuela, the country’s only mainstrea.
