The scandal grows in Venezuela over the Super Mustache dolls: "Children receive ideological toys but do not have quality education"

The Venezuelan union leader Belkis Bolívar rejected this Sunday the delivery of toys made by the Venezuelan regime, including the figures of "Super Mustache" and "Super Cilita", two superhero-type characters created by Chavismo, based on the dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, deputy Cilia Flores.

"Priorities are reversed, they give children ideological toys, but they deny them the right to a quality education, to have a decent health system," the member of the Venezuelan Federation of Teachers (FVM) told EFE.

The executive vice president of the dictatorship, Delcy Rodríguez, reported this Sunday that the Government delivered almost 13 million toys to children from different sectors of the country, including Las Tejerías, a town near Caracas affected by a landslide in early October that claimed the lives of at least 54 people.

The delivery of toys included bicycles and the figures of "Super Mustache" and "Super Cilita", which has also caused reactions on social networks.

In Bolívar's opinion, this represents an "irrelevant" expense, leaving aside "what is really important, such as the educational service."

“Meanwhile, our schools are failing, teachers underpaid, without social security. Hospitals also (are) with very few or no supplies, health personnel with very low salaries, ”he added.

"Super Mustache" was born to prop up the regime's discourse, in 2019, when the then president of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, accused the Chavista of having been behind the social protests against his government. Back then, the Venezuelan dictator made fun of the accusations and thus a bizarre cartoon appeared that presents him as a superhero.

"Moreno says that it's my fault, that I move my mustaches and knock down governments, I'm already thinking about what other government I can knock down with my mustaches," he said. And jokingly, he added: "I'm not Superman, I'm Super Mustache."

Now, "Super Mustache" has become the cartoon of a Venezuelan superhero, inspired by the figure of the dictator Maduro, who fights the United States and its allies. The main villain of the saga is Donald Trump, former US president, whose command center is the White House.

Trump is characterized with his blond hair, a black mask and a blue suit that has a triangle with an eye in the middle, like the one that can be seen on the dollar bill.

Although the Venezuelan regime since the time of Hugo Chávez tried to break with the influence of American superheroes, such as Superman and Batman, the character of "Super Mustache" is represented as the characters of those popular comics.

Maduro wears a red suit -the characteristic color of Chavismo-, a blue cape, and underwear outside the suit. In addition, he has an athletic and slender figure, very different from that of the Venezuelan dictator.

The comic's slogan is: "With his iron hand." Phrase that Maduro used to repeat when he assumed power in 2013 and with which he threatened anyone who underestimated his ability to lead the Executive after Chávez's death.

The unusual cartoon is broadcast by the Venezuelan state television channel (VTV), financed with public funds. Each episode has a running time of a little over a minute. Far from remaining oblivious to the dissemination of his character, the dictator Maduro himself shares each new episode on his social networks.

The shameful cartoon is part of the broad campaign of manipulation, indoctrination and misinformation promoted by the Venezuelan dictatorship through political propaganda.
