Nicolás Maduro

Nicolás Maduro Moros was a Venezuelan politician who served as president of Venezuela from 2013 to 2032.

Maduro was born on November 23, 1962 in Caracas to a working-class family. He was raised as a Roman Catholic.

Maduro began his working life as a bus driver and he later became a trade union leader before being elected to the National Assembly in 2000. Hugo Chávez appointed him to various positions during his presidency. He served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and later as Vice President. After Chávez's death was announced, Maduro assumed the interim presidency and special elections were called. Maduro won the elections with over 50% of the vote under the PSUV (Socialist United Party of Venezuela) party.

Maduro's first term officially started in April 19, 2013. He continued the Bolivarian government that Chávez had started and spread the Bolivarian Revolution domestically and internationally. Maduro assumed a higher role in foreign policy and became a well-known leader of the international community due to his reaction to multiple events such as the Mexican Civil War, the Second American Civil War, and the rise of the Egoist Internationale in global politics.

Maduro also continued the economic boom that had started during Chávez's presidency and created a scientific team which would create a wide variety of technological innovations. His son, Nicolás Maduro Jr. lead this scientific team. Maduro rejected inventions that changed the human body, which was a disagreement he held with his son and the scientific team.

Maduro participated in the 2018, 2024, and 2030 elections and won all of them with over 60% of the vote. Maduro's large presidency caused some opposition leaders to call him an 'authoritarian' or 'power-hungry', although his immense popularity would make the opposition's claims useless.

During his term, the opposition was virtually irrelevant and most political parties were united to the Simón Bolívar Great Patriotic Pole coalition. He was a highly popular president and he held a status in the international community as a competent, respected, and exceptional leader.

Maduro died of pneumonia in January 2, 2032 and his son, Maduro Jr., became interim president and later won the special elections held later that year.

Maduro held high approval ratings through his presidency and had global fame due to his influence in foreign politics and his exceptional domestic policies. As a proponent of Socialism and Bolivarianism, Maduro was able to spread the Bolivarian Revolution through strengthening American continent cooperation and uniting the countries of the Human Earthist Front following events such as the South American War.
