Scant information is available about the extensive digital surveillance system that Venezuela has stealthily developed over the past decade. In this International Forum for Democratic Studies podcast, I discuss the Venezuelan surveillance system with Christopher Walker and Beth Kerley. I explain how the Patria System, video surveillance cameras, referenced quadrants, telephone monitoring, State apps, and party leaders on the ground are pieces of a loosely integrated widespread surveillance system.
