A Conversation with Tibisay Lucena Ramírez
Early Life and Education
Tibsay Lucena was born in Barquisimeto. She studied cello and performed with Venezuela's National Youth Orchestra and Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra (1980–87). Lucena earned a B.A. in sociology from the Central University of Venezuela and worked as a research professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies of Administration. She then pursued graduate studies in the United States, earning an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from the New School for Social Research.
Controversy
Lucena is considered to be pro-PSUV by the opposition, despite that the position she holds must be exercised with neutrality. She has violated the norms she set for the Recall Referendum in 2016 and before that, she had announced the results of the elections in which the opposition won many hours, despite Venezuela using electronic voting systems.
