Maduro's lousy start

Last Sunday in Venezuela were held elections to choose a successor to Hugo Chavez. Interim President Nicolas Maduro and faithful ally of Hugo Chavez, compete in the polls against Henrique Capriles opposition candidate who lost the presidency six months ago with Chavez by more than 11 points. Interim President based his campaign on the image and popularity of President Chavez, which it seemed that Maduro would have no problem taking victory at the polls. But on election day the people came out to vote and their operation when mobilized and did not participate the vote is close, the voters knew that his decision would be for the coming years, invested their trust and hope change with Capriles.
The election in Venezuela sparked a great controversy, as the slightest advantage over Capriles Maduro was not more than 2 points, has many people puzzled and uncertain that it has complied with the opinion of the majority of Venezuelans. Capriles demanded a recount of the votes to clarify the results. Venezuela is marked by Chavez is now represented by Nicolas Maduro its closest ally. The only difference between Chavez and Maduro are the 9 point lead they had on their election to Henrique Capriles. Today in Venezuela voters wanted to invest in a candidate of change, that produced the results, the popularity of Chavez might be gone but the regime and its ways of doing politics are the same for the next few years. Hope the counting of the votes will be only that one hope, the presidency legitimately Mature win or not. Venezuela. The decision focused on voters trust you not to Maduro, his personality does not approach that of Chavez and that the economic situation is a very important point when Venezuelans decide.

The media were essential for people to create their opinion about politics. Today there is an uncertainty of what might happen in Venezuela, the truth is that voters decided and reasoned one vote, reversing their vote in their interests.
