Madurismo, also called Chavo-Madurismo, is a political movement and a variant of Chavismo that emerged in Venezuela, based on the governments of the dictator Nicolás Maduro from his assumption of the Venezuelan government in 2013 until the 2026 United States intervention in Venezuela, and currently represents the Bolivarian Revolution. It was initially based on the defense and continuation of Chavismo, of which Hugo Chávez was the architect and principal exponent until his death, and which was itself based on Bolivarianism and Marxism.[1] However, over time it has begun to focus less on the figure of Chávez and more on the figure of Maduro.[2][3]
Although in 2013 Nicolás Maduro denied the existence of 'Madurismo,' and although he adopted elements of the earlier Chavismo in terms of ideology and some political leaders that make them similar, it is an independent term used by ministers under both Chávez and Maduro to refer to their members, style of government, and the policies they have implemented.
