Nicolás Maduro Moros is a socialist and a communist politician in Venezuela. From 2006 to 2013 he was the Foreign minister. In 2012, Maduro became Vice President and since the death of Hugo Chavez he is the President of Venezuela. In 2013 he was "officially" elected after he defeated, in a close election, the oppositional candidate Henrique Capriles.[2]

In the 1980s, Maduro received Communist training in Cuba.[3][4]

On April 19, 2013, Maduro is sworn in a day after the National Electoral Council announces plans to complete an audit of votes cast in Sunday's election "to preserve a climate of harmony between Venezuelans." [5]

Maduro has a Jewish origin but today he is a Roman Catholic.[6]

Maduros economical policies ruin the country. There is even scarce toilet paper available.[7] Food shortages and corruption are very common and there is an annual inflation rate of more than 45 percent. After that Maduro forced stores to sink the prices. Store managers and owners were arrested.[8] Maduros unveiled the "Deputy Ministry of Supreme Social Happiness" to manage social programs.[9]

The capital Caracas has one of the highest murder rates in the world.[10] Maduro accused the "Spider-Man"-movie and soap operas for criminal.[11]

The relationship between Venezuela and the USA is strained especially for Maduro's eviction of the American ambassador and his quote: "Get out of Venezuela! Yankee go home!".[12] He also forced CNN-employes to leave Venezuela.[13]

In 2019, numerous countries refused to recognize Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate leader, though by the end of the year, he still clung to power.[14]

In 2020, Maduro also endorsed "Comrade Biden"[15] for president, since Biden and Maduro are very good friends. He congratulated Biden on his "victory"[16], and called for dialogue, diplomacy, and recognition. Biden would happily keep Maduro in power, saying that he will fix the country.[17]

2013 election

An eyewitness testified in a sworn affidavit:

"Inside that location was a control room in which there were multiple digital display screens – TV screens – for results of voting in each state in Venezuela. The actual voting results were fed into that room and onto the displays over an internet feed, which was connected to a sophisticated computer system created by Smartmatic. People in that room were able to see in “real time” whether the vote that came through the electronic voting system was in their favor or against them. If one looked at any particular screen, they could determine that the vote from any specific area or as a national total was going against either candidate. Persons controlling the vote tabulation computer had the ability to change the reporting of votes by moving votes from one candidate to another by using the Smartmatic software.

18. By two o'clock in the afternoon on that election day Capriles Radonsky was ahead of Nicolás Maduro by two million votes. When Maduro and his supporters realized the size of Radonsky’s lead they were worried that they were in a crisis mode and would lose the election. The Smartmatic machines used for voting in each state were connected to the internet and reported their information over the internet to the Caracas control center in real-time. So, the decision was made to reset the entire system. Maduro’s and his supporters ordered the network controllers to take the internet itself offline in practically all parts in Venezuela and to change the results.

19. It took the voting system operators approximately two hours to make the adjustments in the vote from Radonsky to Maduro. Then, when they turned the internet back on and the on-line reporting was up and running again, they checked each screen state by state to be certain where they could see that each vote was changed in favor of Nicholas Maduro. At that moment the Smartmatic system changed votes that were for Capriles Radonsky to Maduro. By the time the system operators finish, they had achieved a convincing, but narrow victory of 200,000 votes for Maduro."[18]

American invasion

In a special military operation early on January 3, 2026, the United States launched an unprovoked attack. The bombimgs were likely planned to hit air-defense systems. But several targets were purely administrative government places and one was a mausoleum with Hugo Chavez's body.[19]

With the air defenses defeated U.S. special forces landed by helicopter near a place that housed President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Both are said to have been abducted and flown out of the country. Maduro was known to often change the place where he was living. The New York claimed that a CIA source was involved:

Telegram post by Russian chief negotiator Kirill Dmitriev.
A C.I.A. source within the Venezuelan government monitored the location of Nicolás Maduro in both the days and moments before his capture by American special operation forces, according to people briefed on the operation.

The American spy agency, the people said, produced the intelligence that led to the capture of Mr. Maduro, monitoring his position and movements with a fleet of stealth drones that provided near constant monitoring over Venezuela, in addition to the information provided by its Venezuelan sources.[20]

The raid early Sunday morning, which took place in what should have been highly contested airspace and was preceded by a minimal or borderline nonexistent SEAD campaign, was only possible since the Venezuelan military had received a stand-down order. Maduro, who has been in negotiations with the US for a controlled transition of power since 2024, was betrayed by the Venezuelan power structure and even his own personal bodyguard and eventually gave himself up willingly.

Maduro was brought to the United States and incarcerated. By Monday morning's arraignment in New York City the U.S. Justice Department had dropped several of the most serious charges.[21] Reuters and other maninstream fake news sites reported that Vice President Delcy Rodriguez had fled to Russia;[22] she was sworn in however as Acting President in Caracas within hours after the kidnapping. Defense Minister Diosdado Cabello remained in place. The government issued a fierce statement:

The objective of this attack is none other than to seize Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals, in an attempt to forcibly break the nation's political independence. They will not succeed. After more than 200 years of independence, the people and their legitimate government remain steadfast in defending their sovereignty and their inalienable right to decide their own destiny. The attempt to impose a colonial war to destroy the republican form of government and force a "regime change," in alliance with the fascist oligarchy, will fail like all previous attempts.

More than 40 Venezuelans were reported killed in the raid and no Americans.[23] One American helicopter was reported to have received some damage. The government called on its people to defend the country.
