The Ecuadorian sociologist and international political analyst, Irene León, highlighted the communication work carried out by Venezuela to position its ideas, strength and its own social narrative in a historically adverse international media environment, and described it as extraordinary.

During her participation in the radio program Sin Truco, Ni Maña, hosted by the deputy Tania Diaz, she argued that the strength of the Venezuelan communication proposal goes back to the proposals of Commander Hugo Chávez. “The Revolutionary Leader positioned great ideas about communication guerrilla warfare, about digital sovereignty, satellite sovereignty,” said the sociologist.

León, who is also a specialist in alternatives to globalization and the right to communication, asserted that Venezuela is making a great communication effort to address the pre-established narratives of international corporate media, which have been operating for more than two decades.

In the context of his visit to the city of Caracas, where he participated in the Assembly of Peoples for Peace and Sovereignty of Our America, he stated that there is international information that has been operating from the corporate media for more than two decades, creating lines of argument about Venezuela that are not seen here, that are not true.

He pointed out that scripts such as drug trafficking, positioned by the United States throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, and which unfortunately are already placed on the international stage, comply with a “script created in a laboratory” to attack Venezuela.

He indicated that corporate communication has become the front line of capitalist hegemony, which makes the Venezuelan work of confronting it even more relevant.

León added that Venezuela's effort cannot be measured by the binary logic of “won or lost,” but rather as a continuous achievement of inserting its own vision in the global arena, as opposed to hegemonic power.
