PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – WELL, the fierce battle to elect a successor to the late president Hugo Chavez is over.
However, a heavy cloud of uncertainty hangs over Venezuela amid official arrangements for Friday’s oath-taking ceremony of Nicolas Maduro as new Head of State of that influential oil-rich nation of the Greater Caribbean region.
While he was Chavez’s candidate of first choice as successor President, Maduro’s razor-thin victory over second-time unsuccessful candidate, Henrique Capriles, could prove most challenging for his constitutional presidency over the next six years.
