Gustavo Dudamel faces human rights protest in New York

Gustavo Dudamel faces human rights protest in New York

The incoming music director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra is not receiving a unanimous welcome.

The Human Rights Foundation has been running poster trucks through Manhattan, highlighting Dudamel’s connections with the military regime in his home country, Venezuela.

The HRF says: ‘Dudamel gently criticizes the dictatorship in public while, in private, serving as an unofficial ambassador for Venezuela’s tyranny. He has been silent in the face of years and years of repression and violence in Venezuela. He refuses to condemn Maduro. Dudamel refuses to call out the human rights violations of the regime. Dudamel says nothing about the stolen election of July 28, 2024.’
