Nicolas Maduro Wins Venezuela Election, “Majunche” Capriles U.S. Puppet Complains
On March 5, 2013 the report from Caracas, Venezuela went around the world. President Hugo Chavez is dead. President Chavez died at the age of fifty-eight after a two year battle with cancer, a fight which included four surgeries. Despite his illness Hugo Chavez handily won reelection in October 2012; however the late president was too ill to be sworn in on January 10, 2013, so the National Assembly of Venezuela agreed to postpone the inauguration to allow him time to recover from medical treatment in Cuba.
Hugo Chavez, considered by some as a left-wing troublemaker was greatly loved by many poor Venezuelans for his humble roots, unaffected language and the welfare policies he implemented financed by the country’s dominant oil industry. Opponents of the late Chavez viewed him as a dictator who ruined the nation’s economy.
There was some skepticism upon receiving reports of the death of Chavez with students demanding proof of life or more medical details. Within twenty-four hours of his death his vice president, Nicolas Maduro, claimed Chavez had been infected with cancer by “imperialist” enemies. (Read that as the United States of America’s covert operatives had a hand in Chavez’s demise.) Maduro, who is a former union activist and bus driver with close ties to Cuban leaders, constantly alleged Henrique Capriles, his opponent for office, was conspiring with the U.S. to destabilize Venezuela by overthrowing those in government who were mentored by Chavez.
In the days following the death of Chavez, according to Ramon Guillermo Aveledo, executive-secretary of the opposition Democratic Unity coalition, the lack of precise information was worrisome to Venezuelans and was a contributing factor in the generation of rumors.
Hugo Chavez is succeeded in office by his deputy, the former vice-president of Venezuela, who was acting president during Chavez’s incapacitation, Nicolas Maduro. President-elect Maduro, the successor hand picked by the late Chavez, won a close election victory on April 14, 2013. It was a general election wherein he was challenged by the opposition candidate Henrique “Majunche” Capriles who consistently and relentlessly pointed out the failures of the Chavez administration.

At the urging of the US government Capriles disputes the results of the election, claiming voting irregularities; he even threatened to organize marches to protests the disputed results. (The United States of America believes it is in the best interests of its oil companies to support a regime change in the oil rich country of Venezuela. That is why the Obama administration supports the election of Capriles rather than recognize the election of Maduro as a legitimate choice by the people.)
The U.S. seems to be alone in disregarding the Venezuelan presidential election results. The Organization of American States, (OAS), the governments of Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Uruguay Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, along with other leftist and non-left governments have sent congratulatory messages to President-elect Madura. The Obama administration does not recognize Maduro’s victory; it is completely isolated in the world in this regard.
A complaint has been filed and 100 percent of the vote will be audited by the Venezuelan National Electorate Council (CNE). The outcome of the audit may reveal fraudulent voting activity on the part of the loser, Capriles’ campaign. It is widely believed an audit will not change the election results.
