Say What? Venezuelan Dictator Maduro Has Moved Christmas to October by Decree – Absurdity Reaches New Heights as Repression on Dissent Goes into Overdrive

In a bizarre move that has left the international community scratching its head, Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro has unilaterally declared that Christmas will now be celebrated on October 17th, instead of its traditional December 25th date. The announcement comes as the already beleaguered nation is struggling to cope with economic and political chaos, and repression on dissent reaches new heights.

Maduro, who has been accused of authoritarianism and human rights abuses, made the announcement on state television, citing unspecified "reasons of convenience" for the change. The move is seen by many as an attempt to distract from the country’s deepening crisis and shore up his faltering regime.

"This is a pathetic attempt by Maduro to create a smokescreen around his failed leadership and to further repress the Venezuelan people," said Maria Padrino, a opposition leader and human rights activist. "We will not be swayed by his absurd decrees and will continue to fight for the rights and freedoms of the Venezuelan people."

The decree has been met with widespread ridicule and outrage on social media, with many using the hashtag #OctoberChristmas to express their disbelief.

"This is the most Venezuelan thing I’ve ever heard," tweeted @VenezuelaVibes. "First, they move the holidays to July to avoid heat, then to October to avoid inflation. What’s next? Declaring July 4th a national holiday?"

Others have taken to social media to share their own bizarre holiday traditions, with many poking fun at the Maduro regime’s antics.

"As a Venezuelan, I remember when Christmas was on December 25th… oh wait, who am I kidding? I’ve been celebrating it in July since 2016," tweeted @VenezuelanSense.

Despite the international backlash, the Maduro regime appears to be doubling down on its bizarre decree, with state officials claiming that the change will "promote national unity and cohesion."

The decision comes as Venezuela continues to struggle with widespread poverty, food shortages, and hyperinflation, with the International Monetary Fund predicting that the country’s economy will contract by 20% this year.

As the world watches in amazement, one thing is clear: Maduro’s Christmas gift to Venezuela is a bitter pill to swallow.
