Abstract:
The victory of opposition candidate Sergio Garrido in the governorship race in the state of Barinas on January 9 changes
the symbolic map of Venezuela’s internal diatribe.
The result barely affects the country’s political-territorial map; the governing party swept the regional elections on November 21
with 19 of 23 governorships and 210 of 335 mayoralties. However, it does mark a tremendous change in the sensibility with which the opposition and the government have participated in a political environment that is, if you will, hospitable—for the first
time in many years.
