Venezuelans express growing frustration with the government’s response to last week’s twin earthquakes, according to poll results cited by two outlets. The reporting says nearly half of respondents in a survey conducted after the disaster state that holding new presidential elections is more urgent than rebuilding efforts. The concern reflects a political shift alongside ongoing recovery needs. Bloomberg’s politics coverage links the backlash to political fallout facing Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, framing the survey as evidence of dissatisfaction that is emerging as the country addresses the earthquake damage. The Japan Times similarly reports that respondents prioritize new elections over reconstruction, indicating that the demand is not limited to a small segment of the population. While both sources focus on survey findings, they do not detail additional policy changes or specific measures being taken to address the disaster. The earthquake response context remains central: recovery continues, but the public’s stated priority is increasingly political, with many respondents favoring new elections over immediate rebuilding.
