During an event for Labor Day broadcast on radio and television, the so-called “first combatant” of Venezuela and wife of dictator Nicolás Maduro, Cilia Flores, lived an embarrassing moment that did not go unnoticed by the cameras and the audience present at the scene.
While praising the economic policies implemented by the dictatorship that, according to her, are “designed to improve the social well-being of the Venezuelan population,” Flores experienced an incident with her dental prostheses.
The uncomfortable episode captured everyone’s attention when, in the middle of the speech, had to stop abruptly, covering his mouth, to later clarify, trying to minimize the moment, that he was “eating gum.” The statement generated reactions among attendees and observers.
During her speech where she magnified the increase in the “comprehensive minimum income” equivalent to 3.5 dollars per month, announced by Maduro, Cilia Flores wanted to send a “message of strength and unity” to the country’s workers who this Wednesday took to the streets to demand salary improvements.
“We are seeing, as always, the president pulling his weight, we see how he always thinks about his people,” Flores said.
Maduro, present at the event, tried to minimize the situation by saying: “Cilita bit herself, she is chewing gum,” trying to return humor and normality to the situation.
Despite the incident, Flores’ speech resumed without further setbacks, focusing on highlighting “the unity” between the regime and the Venezuelan people.
Maduro, picking up the thread, emphasized his wife’s idea by expressing: “Correct, we are one more of you.”
The Chavista regime proposed this Wednesday to create a law that establishes a monthly contribution from businessmen – calculated according to their net income – aimed at improving the income of pensioners, who receive about 3.5 dollars at the official exchange rate.
