About the Creator
Roger Waters is a legendary British musician, co-founder and former bassist of Pink Floyd, renowned for his politically charged lyrics and activism[1]. His style blends progressive rock with outspoken left-wing views, often criticizing imperialism, Israel, and Western interventions, though this has drawn accusations of controversy and antisemitism[1]. His credibility as a political commentator is polarizing: hailed by supporters for anti-imperialist stances but criticized for endorsing authoritarian regimes like Maduro's Venezuela[2][4].
What's This About?
The post features Roger Waters publicly endorsing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro ahead of the July 28, 2024 presidential elections, urging Venezuelans to vote for him to preserve the Bolivarian Revolution[1]. He labels Maduro's opponent Edmundo González Urrutia a 'sock puppet' of the US, akin to Juan Guaidó, and warns against figures like Corina Machado as US-backed threats to Venezuelan sovereignty[1]. This fits Waters' pattern of supporting Maduro since 2019, framing Venezuela's struggles as resistance to US interference amid economic collapse and political turmoil[2][5].
🔥Why It's Trending
The post is resurfacing due to ongoing Venezuela political tensions post-2024 disputed elections, where Maduro claimed victory amid fraud allegations and opposition claims[1]. Its timing aligns with 2026 discussions on Maduro's regime stability and international meddling narratives, amplified by Waters' celebrity status and history of viral political interventions[5][6]. Shared hashtags #Venezuela #NicolasMaduro boost visibility amid global leftist debates on Latin American socialism.
