A derogatory term originated in Venezuela referring to the new bourgeois class that became wealthy under the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. It is a combination of 'Bolivarian' (a reference to Simón Bolívar, the liberator of South America and name-giver to Chávez's revolution) and 'burgués' (bourgeois).
Examples
- Spanish: El boliburgués se enriqueció con los contratos del gobierno.
- English: The boliburgués became rich with government contracts.
