The vice-dictator Rosario Murillo, who “self-proclaims” herself a Christian, declared a monstrosity built of iron and colored light bulbs, which was erected with a painting showing the face of the deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez (also known as the Plaza Inter roundabout), a “sanctuary” and “miraculous temple.” In her usual speech, she also claims that the spirit of the deceased Venezuelan dictator and his soul reside in that monument, contrary to Christian teachings.
The spokesperson for the Sandinista dictatorship claims that the roundabout built in homage to Chavez is a “sacred” place that possesses the energy of the former Venezuelan president. For an evangelical pastor who preferred to remain anonymous, Rosario does not agree between his Christian discourse and his statements that fall into ignorance or Satanism.
“The Bible teaches in the book of Hebrews 9:27 that a human being who dies cannot return to earth in another form (not physical); there is no middle ground, there is no possibility of remaining on earth in the form of a spirit, much less believing that the soul of a dead person can remain in an earthly place,” says the evangelical.

The pastor indicates that speaking of energies when referring to the spirit or soul of a human being is anti-Christian and borders more on sects and religions such as Buddhism or Hinduism, which are very far from Christian doctrine. Rosario Murillo’s closeness to esotericism and sects such as Santeria (Cuba) and Voodoo (Haiti) is well known.
Last February, Murillo stated that the Hugo Chávez roundabout “had powers” and instructed state workers, including deputies and ministers, to arrive at the roundabout with floral arrangements in honor of the 25th anniversary of the triumph of the Venezuelan regime, which is now sustained under the military yoke by fraud, prison and terror, very similar to the Sandinistas in Managua.
The vice president said that the new trees installed in the area between Bolivar and Chavez Avenue are to glorify the “heavenly father” mentioning that he is the one who gives her “life, strength and health”; however, she does not directly mention the name of Jehovah. It is customary for Murillo to use phrases like “Christian, socialist and supportive” in her mix of religious, syncretistic and esoteric.
The dictator, who has been attacking the Catholic Church and to a lesser extent the Evangelical Church since 2018, has insulted priests and bishops who criticize her criminal regime with epithets such as “devils in cassocks.” She has also closed ranks with her Venezuelan counterpart and heir to Chávez, the dictator Nicolás Maduro, who intends to stay in office through elections that the opposition in that country has described, with minutes in hand, as fraudulent, and which have already been rejected by more than a dozen countries, including left-wing rulers.
