Venezuelan army swore allegiance to Vice President Maduro

The command of the armed forces of Venezuela took the oath of office to the vice-president of the country, Nicolas Maduro, whom Hugo Chavez called his successor. According to Reuters, Maduro will act as president until the election of a new head of state.

Previously it was assumed that in the event of Chavez’s death, he would be temporarily replaced by the speaker of the National Assembly. This post has been held since January by the leader of the ruling social party, Diosdad Cabello. As for Maduro, he was predicted for the role of presidential candidate from the socialists.

Meanwhile, the Venezolana de Television Channel reported that a second American diplomat had been expelled from Venezuela. In addition to David Del Monaco, who, according to Maduro, led activities aimed at “destabilizing the country”, Dablin Costal was ordered to leave the state in 24 hours.

Recall that the death of Hugo Chávez was announced less than two hours ago. The president of Venezuela, who held this post for 14 years, died of cancer. Since the last (fourth) operation to remove a malignant tumor, Chavez has not shown in public, which has generated a lot of rumors about his state of health. The authorities have assured that the president, despite his illness, continues to govern the country. He cannot speak, but this does not prevent him from fulfilling his duties and giving orders. As evidence, Chavez’s photos were published in a hospital bed, in which he looked quite cheerful. Despite this, representatives of the opposition accused the authorities of concealing the truth about the health of the president and demanded that he be shown to the people.

I really hope that Maduro will become the president of Venezuela, but for now the Chavez team will have a very difficult fight

The Americans will try not to miss such a chance, so that Maduro will have to compete. Let's hope that he comes out victorious.

[alexng]

As long as the U.S. authorities are doing something about this, then by then they might fall apart. They would now have to deal with their own debts and the economy, which now depends more on the wind than on their brains.

Everything will turn on the machine, and we will support using their green candy wrappers for mutual settlements.

[vadson]

Yeah, the collapse of the union for Amer for 20 years was more than enough years old, but what about the country with the largest proven oil reserves? year two three? BUT US IS THIS WHY?

[sanek45744]

Yes, I would like that supporters of Chavez would come to power, otherwise we will lose this country from our influence !! and the weapons that we sell by the way on credit may be interrupted, but you won’t get one for the day you receive! so Madro must win the election !!

[vadson]

I hope I hope, I really hope that Putin will come to Venezuela for the funeral, let him give strong support to Maduro, and then all of L.A. lose it.
and still, in no case should Medvedev be sent there, otherwise he will give everything to the Americans

Yes! Frantic Hugo is still very necessary in this World! It’s a pity that he left so early. Bright memory!

[Predator-74]

One gets the impression that in Venezuela everything is under control as far as it can now be.

[Trailer]

And you noticed how generally this Maduro acted correctly. Well, as a politician. The people were not told about the health of Chavez, and the opposition immediately blew ears. She began to gain points by raising the topic that people are not being told about the leader’s health; do people need such power? And it would seem that now Chavez’s death has become known, and the opposition should RISE SO on this wave! Like, we said! And here, on you, Maduro expels several American military attaches from the country for allegedly preparing a coup in the country, building bridges with the opposition in recent weeks. And wahal, who will sort it out, is it true or not, but Maduro played in advance a card about himself as a defender of stability in Venezuela, and a card of the opposition, as the trespassers of this stability with the participation of the United States. For future elections, this is a great help.

[vadson]

oh him right now our GOOD support

[Sirocco]

All this is good, BUT notice how the United States began to act softly, do not shout at the top of their lungs, so to speak, not with a carrot stick. They say look, the people of Venezuela, you "bent under the yoke of the dictator" and we wish you "good" as in Libya and Syria. Oh, sly adversaries.

[Rashid]

I hope our intelligence consultants work in Venezuela, where events can not be left to chance, otherwise it can happen with Russian contracts, as in Libya.

[djon3volta]

so far everything is under control, Chavez’s staging is being supported by the people, which means that nothing threatens our contracts, all the more so since Sechin was there recently, they must have discussed further cooperation without witnesses.
wait for the election ..

If Russian consultants work in Venezuela, then consider the election lost. Wherever these consultants climbed, it’s all messy. Iraq, Libya, Serbia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, a little more and Syria.

[vadson]

don’t rejoice ahead of time, in the beginning of 90 we generally half the union about .... whether, I agree, in the 2000s the Caucasus was put in order more or less, now I hope we will push the aggression from our borders, and yes with the aggression we will also liberals too, give time All will be. amers weaken we rise, everything will return to square one

[avt]

It will be hard for him. Chavez is the Leader! And here the peasant has a lot more to prove to everyone against the background of the deceased. Troublesome times approach Venezuela, as they cope. Let’s take a look. But the Yankees will spoil their blood. That's just at least for the past will take revenge.

All kings like Chavez, Putin, Lukashenko — surround themselves with mediocrity — troubled times await Venezuela and for a long time did not report his death for a reason (I think simple0 deduced assets.
Now in Venezuela * wars * of clans will begin.
1 Position

Everyone has their own interests, because Venezuela is a very corrupt country, grandmothers and interests are not comic.
No one knows where the country will go. Not satisfied a lot (half of the country) Chavez in the last election took only 54% of the vote.
My opinion is that the Vice President will lose and the booth will begin. because no one wants to share such grandmothers.

[antidote]

Well, the friends of Israel and Israel itself will closely muddle the situation in Venezuela

[vadson]

"my friend" show me at least one Western politician has such a rating of 54%, TOTAL, are you kidding? out of 46% of the opposition, remove half of the US paid bedding, and then turn on the motsk. yes Chavez is a leader and he surrounded himself not only with classmates but also with people who can work. Or do you think that the oppositionists, liberals, podniks, szhepatriots raised Venezuela with all their might and chavez only destroyed and stole? nude nude

In general, no one was elected with a rating of less than 50%. (about two candidates) The preponderance in 8% is nothing special, I would even say that with the administrative resource that Chavez had, it’s just not enough.

Yes ? Strange, how is it known only to you? Did transfers go through you? Why didn’t they tell Chavez? But he didn’t know (if he didn’t mention it nirazu)

Quote: vadson

In general, it would be better to surround only people who can work, and classmates - is it good or bad?

Quote: vadson

or do you think that the opposition, liberals, companions, zhepatriots raised Venezuela with all their might and Chavez only ruined and stolen? nude nude

I don’t know, I think that the country with the largest oil reserves in the world, during the 14 years of Chávez’s rule, could have given the first place in crime and inflation (among the countries of Latin America) to someone else.
Or where did the grandmas invest? Better not to buy tanks, but fought crime. And in general, I will never believe that the country is prosperous. and crime is over the top (like inflation) I believe that Chavez, as president, could do more for the people, and not wave his hands at rallies and spit in the direction of America.
But nothing, in a month (maximum) elections we will see who is right.

Immediately the bull by the horns. The sooner the elections are held, the more chances Maduro has.

Will lose. It is quite gray - figures like Chavez love to shine alone.

[vadson]

Putin needs a pr manager to Maduro to send a phrase to wet in the toilet

[wax]

Do not croak, Bubble. Maduro will not be weaker than Chavez if he wins the election. He sent two American attaches and did not blink an eye. Who will now inspire the opposition? It will be necessary - he will send it again, he actually hinted about it. Let the greedy close their mouths - oil will not flow.

[zao74]

Chavez was a great leader, eternal memory ... And the best tribute to him is strict adherence to the course laid by the Comandante!

[vadson]

Well, at the expense of the great, you bent of course, but of course he deserves respect

[Clueless]

Chavez went to the polls already being sick, he assumed that not everything is so smooth .. he won the polls, appointed a receiver right there

if Chavez wouldn’t go to the polls, now the opposition has been in power already

[vadson]

opposition leaders interviewing anyone on count whom to jail

[pa_nik]

Venezuela enters the zone of turbulence Will shake. Bringing troops to combat readiness is not just that. The Americans have already conveyed their "greetings" to the opposition with the wishes of "speedy democratization." I wish Venezuela to survive! .. and do not be led by provocations of countries wishing to divide and rule.

[wax]

Especially important is the link Venezuela - Cuba.

[Renat]

Only 58 years old. Of course he left when he was young. Or did they "leave"?

[homosum20]

The fighter died. Not leaving the ranks until the last breath. We have lost a friend and ally.
May he rest in peace.

[polly]

Maduro, of course, is not Chavez, but also not a carrot for amers! So it is unlikely that the American dream in Venezuela will come true ...

[vadson]

there is such an idea, maybe Maduro on the type of our Putin, but only without liberal duties for two terms, maybe just a patriot is not corrupt

[Orthodox warrior]

Saddened that Hugo was gone! This is a figure! World!
He brought flowers to the Venezuelan Embassy in Moscow today. Guys, but people are coming. Many flowers were left at the embassy ...

Your message is very happy. It is a pity I have no opportunity to bring flowers to Moscow

The sad news. The blessed memory of Comandante Hugo! I will remember after work.

[antidote]

Hugo was a powerful figure in the fight against world evil. As a live cartridge fell out of the cage. It's a pity our leaders are not in the cage. Although Putin. it seems to me in a clip, only until it shines

[silver owl]

Putin seems to me a special silver cartridge. Against the Western Ghouls. Need to place and on time

[APASUS]

Yes, Maduro will have to try to make the people of Venezuela say to him:
Comandante people love you!
So far only Bolivar and Chavez have been honored!

[silver owl]

The real Comandante! Let the earth rest in peace to him, and let the soul be immortal in human memories. There would be more such iron leaders, fearlessly clicking on the nose of all sorts of snickering and simply impudent from their impunity "Democratizers". Why are they clicking, - standing up in full growth against a real "democratic-fascist" machine. Glory to the Comandante!

[Odysseus]

First of all, eternal memory and eternal glory to Comrade Chavez!
And about Maduro ... Americans rejoice early.
With an honest vote count (and it is ensured), the representative of the bourgeois, pro-American opposition has no chance.
What are the options for American puppets?
1) Do not recognize the election results and arrange a "maidan" To counter this Maduro needs to take his supporters to the streets and not succumb to provocations.
2) Relying on 1-2 provinces and pre-created gangs of mercenaries to try to provoke a civil war. Here the role of the army is important. Maduro needs to be in close contact with her and with her help take control of the situation in the most opposition provinces and in the capital in advance.
Of course, "taking control" should mean preventing an armed mutiny. The army should not interfere with the elections themselves.

[pinecone]

The death of Hugo Chavez, an outstanding politician, people's leader who turned his country from the US half-colony into an independent state was not accidental. It was under him that the very word Venezuela sounded so proudly. Let us hope that the noble cause of the Bolivarian Revolution will continue with his successor. The Army is with him, and this is the main thing.

[atalef]

Quote: pinecone

The Army is with him, and this is the main thing.

The army is with legitimate authority and should be out of politics. If he begins to follow a specific person, this ends with a military junta. For Latin America, this is not new. Therefore, we wish Venezuela that the Army continued to be neutral and obey the orders of a legitimate government.

[Guun]

The battle for Venezuela will be difficult. Now Russia and China are doing their best to bring Maduro to power because they have HUGE contracts. And the lousy opposition activists with the support of the United States will spoil and try to do everything to come to power, the information war is in full swing, I saw a video on the RBC where the Venezuelans supposedly celebrate Hugo's death, it was like that in Libya, where Colonel Muammar allegedly bombed the opposition. This is a battle of the titans. Let's see who wins. Perhaps this will be a turning point for the Bear and the Dragon against the West, if victory is the whole world will know who is now power.

[wax]

The 30-day term is in favor of electing a successor to Chavez Maduro. Yes, and a kick to the inspirers of the opposition and the fifth column was given decisive and in time.

[Lucius]

Love with Venezuela is our "white swan". We are all waiting for the continuation of this novel. Wow, you will forever remain in our hearts!

[Stalinets]

Good afternoon! Let’s hope that this is a person who will not shame the name of Hugo Chavez!
