ABSTRACT
Political communication in post-Chávez Venezuela has been characterized by a permanent battle between the deceased Chávez’s policies of censorship, Nicolás Maduro’s rants, and the multifaceted speeches of the opposition.
The omnipresence of Hugo Chávez as guard of the Revolution in the cities’ walls is dominant in discourse within political communication in Venezuela, despite his death.
The aim of this analysis is to approach the presence of the deceased Chávez in a semiotic way, as part of the Venezuelan political communication.
