Social:Chilezuela
Chilezuela is a pejorative Chilean term to describe a dystopian version of Chile with negative attributes similar to those of Bolivarian Venezuela. The term gained traction in the 2017 Chilean presidential election when supporters of right-wing candidate Sebastián Piñera applied it to what they claimed was a path towards crisis and underdevelopment.[1] During the campaign false rumours of Nicolás Maduro supporting Chilean centre-left candidate Alejandro Guillier spread through social media of groups of exiled Venezuelans.[2][opinion] Piñera himself sought to pejoratively link Guillier to Maduro.[2][opinion] The term is part of a wide trend in the Spanish-speaking world of doing negative references to Venezuela during political campaigns.[2][opinion] This and similar terms such as, Argenzuela, Peruzuela and venezuelización are used during political campaigns to claim what will supposedly happen if the left-wing candidate wins.[3]
