Grassroots democracy celebrates one year of giving the "news" to bus riders in Venezuela

https://twitter.com/elbusTV

All the news that the Chavistas don't want the people of Venezuela to know. The Castroist government of Venezuela has effectively banned any contrarian television and radio, and bankrupted most non-Chavista newspapers and periodicals. They can, because they control WHO gets newsprint and ink!

(translation: A year ago an idea was materialized: a news program on buses. Today there are 2,400 passengers informed per month, with 7 teams filming in two of the main cities in the country. And we celebrate it on board with our audience!)
