Elections in a dictatorship-Monomad challenge

I have never believed in political parties, much less in those who lead them. However, when it comes to mass gatherings, I have recently attended not only to take photos but also to observe and analyze the reactions of the supporters and their relationship with the leaders.

This time, I went to see a rally for a presidential candidate.

The political situation in Venezuela is complex. In my opinion, it has regressed into a dictatorship.

I find it absurd to have elections in a dictatorial context, but people are desperate, and faced with any option, no matter how minimal, to remove the tyrants from power, they will choose it.

I saw messianism disguised as hope, but in large part I understand.

Venezuela is a failed state, and any option is the best, even if it is an illusion, because in the end the electoral result will be the same: the oppressors will win.

I hope I am wrong... I hope I am wrong.

Here I share some photos of some of the many people who attended the protest call.

It's a lot if people wishing changes are majority. Sometimes, dictatorships make their people believe they love the dictatorship and make dissenting people leave the country.
