Aló Presidente
Aló Presidente ( German : Hello President ) was a political talk show that was first hosted by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez , and later held almost alone, interrupted by show blocks. It started on May 23, 1999 as a radio broadcast on Radios Nacional de Venezuela. The program was later broadcast on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. on the state television broadcaster VTV and on the state-owned radio station and was receivable throughout Venezuela. It could also be viewed as a stream on the Internet.
The show could take several hours to complete and often lasted until around 5:00 p.m. The offer and the schedule of the programs varied, especially at the beginning. Each time the show took place in a different location in front of a larger audience. The program served to make the socialist idea of the government known to the population. Among other things, Chavez encouraged the population to call during the broadcast and present their problems so that he could solve them or forward them to the responsible officials.
At the beginning of his presidency in 1999, Chavez had been in the media up to 40 hours a week.
After Chavez from 2011 in Cuba a cancer treatment had to undergo, the programs were rare. The last broadcast took place on January 29, 2012.
