Biography

Short

Long

Giuseppe Gangi is a Venezuelan software engineer and cyberactivist based in Spain. In 2024, after Venezuela's electoral authority proclaimed Nicolás Maduro the winner without publishing results by polling station, and the government blamed a hack on North Macedonia, he took that name to publish the presidential election tally sheets and gather the counting videos. Since then he has built 14 free platforms covering elections, the appointment of the Supreme Court, the Attorney General and the Ombudsperson, the national consultations and the state's websites. He explains his work to more than 470,000 followers on social media.
