The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, broadcast live this Sunday from his account on the Tik Tok social network, where he had as a special guest the philosopher and communicator Miguel Ángel Pérez Pirela, with whom he spoke about current issues.
As a critical issue, he expressed his solidarity with the Iranian people, after the accident suffered by the helicopter carrying the president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, who had to make an emergency landing and has been missing for many hours.
“Let’s hope, with God’s favor, that everything turns out well. “We express our solidarity with the brother president of Iran Ebrahim Raisi and all those who were traveling on board,” said President Maduro.
“We hope that in the next few hours we will have good news,” he said, celebrating the solidarity of neighboring countries that are collaborating with the search and rescue efforts.
Moving on to another topic, together with his guest he analyzed the power of social networks today, which are the ones that manage the monopoly of the imposition of ways of thinking in today’s world:
“All the personal information they accumulate when you give a like, they sell it to transnational companies so that they can market their products,” said Pérez Pirela.
“Are they listening to us or not listening to us?” asked President Maduro after telling an anecdote in which messages appear that coincide with topics that he talks about on the phone. His guest replied: “They even see us.”
Pérez Pirela said that there is no democracy in these media, something that is demonstrated in the current electoral contest, where “there are candidates that no one sees, but who appear all the time on the networks and there are ‘banned’ (censored) candidates like you”, he told President Maduro.
