For several weeks, Venezuela has been suffering a tremendous
social crisis, with often violent demonstrations, and a global climate of
mistrust towards the government led by N. Maduro.
Disapproved by the major part of the population because of
his authoritarian – yet socialist – policy,
Maduro seeks an incentive for Venezuelan citizens to vote. Maduro now
wills to modify the Constitution and to create a Constituent Assembly, for now
rejected by more than 70% of the population. Surprisingly, he's taken advantage
of the popular song "Despacito" – that has literally invaded
nightclubs across the globe – to promote his ideas.
Indeed, Maduro isn't quite a man who gives up easily. Clapping
his hands and dancing, Maduro changed the lyrics of the song into "Despacito
(slowly), take a ballot instead of weapons, always express yourself in a
peaceful way".
You can imagine that Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, the authors
of the original song, didn't appreciate this controversial use...
