Early Christmas in Venezuela

The government of Venezuela has announced an early start to the Christmas season, beginning on October 1st. This decision is not entirely unexpected, as previous administrations have similarly sought to lift morale during challenging times. The current political climate following a contested presidential election adds complexity to this announcement, as many citizens are disillusioned with the government’s legitimacy. Decorations and festive music like traditional Gaitas are beginning to fill the atmosphere, though the sentiment surrounding the early celebration is mixed due to ongoing political turmoil.
