Nicolás Maduro decrees the advancement of Christmas in Venezuela to October 1st
Caracas - The president said that the extravagant measure is “in homage to the combative people”.
During a presentation on the official channel Globo Visión, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced yesterday that Christmas would be brought forward to October 1st in the country.
“It’s September and it already smells like Christmas and that’s why this year, in homage to the combative people, in gratitude to you, I’m going to decree Christmas for October 1st; Christmas has arrived with peace, happiness and security,” said the president in front of the audience who applauded him. “Christmas starts on October 1st.”
This is not the first time that Maduro has decreed bringing Christmas forward in Venezuela.
In 2020, he announced the start of the holiday on October 15 as a maneuver to divert public attention from the serious problems the country was going through during the pandemic.
The following year, on social media, he announced the early arrival of Christmas at Miraflores Palace on October 4. Maduro showed in an X-rated video the decoration of lights, trees and Christmas ornaments at Miraflores Palace.
“Christmas arrived starting in October,” said the dictator accompanied by his wife, Cilia Flores.
“In Venezuela we are going to have a happy, bright Christmas, full of lights and color,” concluded Maduro at the end of the video posted on social media.
