Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been actively engaging with the country's Christian evangelical community as part of his political strategy. Maduro held a significant meeting with over 17,000 Christian pastors on the Puerto Cabello boardwalk in Carabobo state. This move is seen as an effort to consolidate support among evangelical voters, a demographic that has shown considerable influence in Venezuelan politics, as evidenced by evangelical pastor Javier Bertucci receiving a million votes in 2018. Additionally, Maduro and the extended political high command of the national government convened to work on the seven transformations plan, further indicating the administration's efforts to address the country's challenges. These actions come amid criticisms of Maduro's leadership, with some attributing Venezuela's ongoing crisis to a combination of factors involving the US, the far-right opposition, and Maduro himself.

Is Hugo Chávez to Blame for Venezuela’s Collapse? From @GabrielHetland “Ultimately, however, it is the US, the far-right opposition, and Maduro who deserve the lion’s share of blame for the crisis that Venezuela has found itself in since 2014.” https://t.co/7EdcOacNIs
Maduro is making a huge effort to win over the evangelical vote - hence the repeated references to Christ in recent days. In 2018 evangelical pastor Javier Bertucci received a million votes. https://t.co/ljtNRrnj03
