The Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, denounced this Friday the media lynching against Venezuela, promoted by Secretary of the OAS Luis Almagro and five governments of the Lima cartel.
In statements offered from the “Simón Bolívar” press room of Miraflores Palace, Rodríguez warned about the serious danger of these actions whose impact transcends national borders, when considering that “what they do to Venezuela today can be done tomorrow to any other country”
She explained the national government deployed an effort to review, by a group of big data experts, a universe of more than 70 million tweets with messages attacking Venezuela.
She pointed out that after examining 15,345,683 tweets, with more than 1,400 avatars and more than 31 million interactions, they came to the conclusion of the existence of a very small core of profiles on the Twitter social network that amplify false opinions that seek the lynching of personalities and the image of the country.
In this regard, she pointed out that the strategy has been “to artificially create negative trends with the aim of influencing those who have to make a decision in the International Criminal Court. An artificially created case has no basis in reality and seeks to influence the decision-makers of these organizations”, said Rodríguez.
She stressed that “through these fraudulent mechanisms it has been tried to base a case that does not exist against Venezuela, this is very serious (and therefore) we ask the International Community to see all of us in that same mirror, because what they are doing today to Venezuela, they can do it to any country tomorrow”.
False matrices:
Regarding the analysis carried out so far, she pointed out that, from the universe of tweets 480 open sources were analyzed, of which 61% correspond to verified media and 27% to social networks, however the impact of the latter is the one with a greater reach.
In this case, of that 27% of messages on social networks analyzed, “88% are Twitter accounts from where the false matrix against Venezuela was created”.
She added that out of a sample of 98 opinion tweets, it was found that only 4% of them were supported by any real information.
“17% of the information tweets were accompanied by a link to a media or audiovisual element, but 79% were opinion tweets not supported by any information or audiovisual element.”
She considered that these aggressions channeled through social networks are part of an action plan through which transnational communication companies intend to replace international organizations and bodies:
“Now they are being replaced by this set of robots that create false profiles and matrices in order to influence and generate incidents, to influence in the classification of international crimes; in other words they seek to classify crimes that do not exist,” she assured.
Hence, she appealed to the Prosecutor’s Office of the International Criminal Court to adhere to reality and facts in any scenario.
