The president of Venezuela, Commander Hugo Chávez Frías, raised himself as a champion of Latin American and universal justice. Using the resources of the Venezuelan state in an indiscriminate and criminal manner, he was promoted as the great defender of the people and he passed himself off as the great promoter of Simon Bolivar's dream of integration. However, in fact this was a complete and frustrating historical farce, which many people still do not know of. The purpose of Chavismo: The Plague of the 21st Century, is to dismantle the farce. Venezuela and Latin America have experienced a convulsive beginning of the century. Much of this has been due to the arrival of the charismatic commander Hugo Chávez to power and his crazy ideology of "socialism of the 21st century". This Venezuelan military man wrote a confusing chapter of the recent history of Latin America.Much has been said and written about him, however, most of the works developed on his figure have had little impact on the collective imagination, on the soul, thought and culture of the popular masses, despite the total disaster that it represented for Venezuela. and for the region, conscious work has still not been done to dismantle its tragicomedy. The lieutenant colonel, Hugo Chávez was a communications champion with a singular political sense to read the popular sentiment and embody it, his unquestionable charisma conquered all kinds of public, who, enraptured, always gave a vote of confidence to his delusions. Those who opposed their criminal public policies failed precisely because they tried to respond in a sophisticated, legal and academic way to their atrocious step in history. The great failure in judging him was the great conquest of the commander: his critical but flat language, comprehensive of popular sentiment, in most cases eloquent, wisely directed to the popular imaginary, always defiant of imaginary enemies, managed to captivate thousands of followers around the world.Through this historical document we make an x-ray of the dilemma to strip him before public opinion, analyzing the causes (social, political and economic) that caused the rise of Chávez; the terrible criminal-exercise that he had in power versus the response of organized civil society (especially students); the gradual political fall of the tropical dictator as the secrecy that enveloped his fatal illness; and, finally, the bizarre succession -and his disastrous public work- of who thinks himself may have been his lover in life, Nicolás Maduro.All this not only facing the past or the present, but especially the future as a historical critic of this harmful character called Hugo Chávez. Given the benefit of the doubt that still many political, academic and popular sectors give to the Venezuelan dictator, it is imperative to open a riddle and a censorious question about what it has meant, means and will mean for Venezuela and Latin America its passage through power. This military soldier who has ruined one of the most prosperous and stable nations in Latin America and has plunged it into a social, political and economic pit of still unknown magnitude, must be submitted to a thorough historical judgment.Chavismo is a piece that brings together the opinions of the most important Latin American leaders, who lived close to the Chávez phenomenon, who knew him and witnessed his rise and his strategies to try to consolidate the Chavez hegemony in Latin America and the world, including some of his ministers in the first years of government. Among them, outstanding figures such as: Mario Vargas Llosa, Oscar Arias, Sebastian Piñera, Luis Almagro, Ricardo Haussmann, Diego Arria, Andres Pastrana, José María Aznar, Felipe González, Juan Claudio Lechín, JJ Rendón, Alvaro Vargas Llosa, Jorge Quiroga, José Miguel Vivanco, Felipe Calderón, Vicente Fox, Luis Moreno Ocampo, Moises Naím, Carlos Alberto Montaner, Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, Oscar García Mendoza, Yon Goicoechea, David Smolansky, Freddy Guevara, Daniel Ceballos, Juan Andrés Mejias, José Manuel Olivares, Raúl Salazar, José Gregorio Briceño, Guaicaipuro Lameda, Ismael García, Antoinette Mendoza de López, Lilian Tintori, Maria Corina Machado, Mitzy Capriles de Ledezma, José Gustavo Arocha, Tamara Suju, Ana Julia Jatar, Thays Peñalver, Gonzalo Himiob, Alfredo Romero, Laureano Márquez, Pedro Mario Burelli, Miguel Henrique Otero, Marcel Granier, David Moran, Antonio Rivero, Lester Toledo, Srdja Popovic.The documentary aspires to pay arguments to the historical debate. Given the relevance of the observed, the urgency that the phenomenon does not repeat or expand in other countries and the need to create political antibodies that prevent the emergence of similar cases in the region, taking advantage of the fact that the protagonists are within reach and live the drama still to this day.
