"Pim pum pa!": among curious sayings and promises, Maduro gains popularity on TikTok

The series of questions regarding Venezuela's economy, politics and security have apparently not been an impediment for its president, Nicolás Maduro, to take to TikTok with a vast repertoire of videos that are making him gain popularity on the social network, with curious promises and phrases that have provoked diverse reactions. The Venezuelan president launched his account on TikTok, which is not yet verified even though he himself invited his followers on Twitter to add him to the social platform. His repertoire of videos is increasingly wide, curious and, for many, funny. Among them is one in which he promotes payment through Venezuelan electronic transfer, including payment in dollars, a currency that has been important for the inhabitants of that country due to the devaluation of the bolivar, the local currency. His repertoire of videos is increasingly extensive, curious and, for many, amusing. Among them is one in which he promotes payment through Venezuelan electronic transfer, including payment in dollars, a currency that has been important for the inhabitants of that country in view of the devaluation of the bolivar, the local currency. "If you have an account in dollars and you arrive at a place and say 'no, I don't have change', you pay in bolivars. It's not like they're going to give you change in chocolates or nutella," Maduro promises through the Banco de Venezuela system. Maduro even published a video where he makes a massive invitation to his upcoming religious wedding with his wife Cilia Flores, in the middle of a rally in Venezuelan territory. In another record he highlights the export of Venezuelan pants, including to the United States, with whom he has not had the best diplomatic relations.
