Nicolás Maduro Grabbing Power

Nicolas Maduro was and is very loyal to his lider and friend Hugo Chavez and followed all his plans. In the National Assembly of the Congress, he swore to complete his service as the president of Venezuela. He will participate in the next elections.

According to the constitution Diosdado Cabello should be the next Venezuelan president because of the reelection that took place in the last January 5^th. However Maduro is so sure that he will become next president, because Hugo Chavez said so. He is now a temporary president in Venezuela, and deals with all country problems. However, the next Venezuelan elections will be on April 14^th, and in that date it will be decided if Nicolas Maduro o Henrique Capriles, his rival, will be the president of Venezuela.

The tension between these two rivals is increasing day by day. The temporary president assured that the American ex-ambassadors of Caracas were against Capriles and they planned to kill him. These affirmations by Maduro were denied by the ex- ambassords themselves, Roger Noriega and Otto Reich. So Capriles says that if something bad happened to him, Maduro was going to be guilty.
