  • Descrição: This chapter critically evaluates the main ideologies, practices, and events that characterised the second period of Hugo Chávez's; rule, the Adversarial phase. Ultimately, Chávez aspired to incarnate the 'agglutinating' leader, according to E. Laclau, of triggering the necessary changes to empower the 'underprivileged' against the oligarchs. Chávez promoted new channels of political communication that involved his TV show and the increasing number of 'chains', but also new organisations of social mobilisation, such as the 'Bolivarian Circles'. Commercial media were compelled by existing law and regulations, to fully divulge presidential addresses whenever he appealed to the official chains. Adversarial Chávez became the expression of anti-elitism, particularly against the business and media elite. His focus on the 'economic constituent', which affected significant business and land interests, reformulated his initial construction of the adversary, from the single, predominantly political, enemy of the Soft period, he advanced towards an economic elite adversary incarnated by the propertied classes.
