🇻🇪Nicolas Maduro to be inaugurated as Venezuela’s president for third term on Friday
The ceremony will take place amid opposition protests and rallies in support of the elected president. Here are the key details:
▪️ The elections, held in July, sparked widespread protests from those disputing the official results.
▪️ The opposition claims their candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, won. After the election, González faced criminal charges and sought asylum in Spain.
▪️ Gonzalez has gained backing from the US, held meetings with regional leaders, and visited Uruguay, Argentina, and Washington.
▪️ The situation with Gonzalez is seen as a repeat of the previous opposition leader Juan Guaido episode, where Guaido led an alternative government for several years.
▪️ Experts predict the inauguration could be unpredictable, with prisons potentially becoming flashpoints for unrest due to possible riots.
▪️ Russia will be represented at the ceremony by the Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, who has already arrived in Caracas.
