We know that Christmas is not about the number of gifts we receive or the amount of money spent to prepare for the celebration. Even so, within the possibilities of each family, it is about making the celebration enjoyable for everyone and that the few or many things that are organized are done from the heart.
For this reason, when we are given something by force or with double intentions, we can feel it very easily. This is how poor children in Venezuela suffered, who, on the occasion of the Christmas festivities, expected a gift suitable for their age and tastes. However, you will not believe what the partially recognized president of the South American country, Nicolás Maduro, delivered to families in the interior of the country.
At first glance, it was a toy that could not fail, that is, an action figure of two well-known superheroes. So far so good, but the bizarre thing begins when you find out that the characters are famous exclusively in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, since they are the protagonists of nothing more and nothing less than the animated series super mustacheinspired by the dictator Nicolás Maduro and the first lady, Cilia Flores.
If you are not aware of this you will think that we are telling you a bad joke, but we are sorry to tell you that we are serious. That is why let us congratulate you for being born at the right time to exist at the same time as the superhero Super mustache and Cilita, the dolls that already have their own action figure and that were distributed to more than 12 million Venezuelan children this Christmas.
At least in Panama they distributed hams and not Super crab or super mustaches pic.twitter.com/QgUyJzGiMe

The executive vice president of the dictatorship, Delcy Rodríguez, declared that the children who received the aforementioned gifts were “very happy and pleased.” However, these were not the reactions that various Internet users sent through their social networks, who disapprove of the act and call it a form of “manipulation towards children.”
Such is the case of the following mother of a family who was anything but happy and pleased with the presents, since, in her opinion, the gifts were a mockery, considering that the only fans of the series are the country’s leaders.

Meanwhile, many users have gone on to leave their humble opinion in the face of this Christmas madness worthy of The Grinch.
‘Poor children, what a trauma’; ‘When you think you’ve seen it all’; ‘Indoctrination in sight’; ‘It’s a joke, right?; ‘What terrible pictures! What manipulation to the children’; ‘What a Machiavellian mind continues to indoctrinate children to that system that only brings poverty’.
