Nicolas Maduro Moros is a Venezuelan politician who has served as the president of Venezuela since 2013. He previously held roles as Vice President and Minister of Foreign Affairs under Hugo Chávez.
Nicolas Maduro assumed the presidency of Venezuela on April 19, 2013, following the death of Hugo Chávez. He won a special presidential election later that month.
Venezuela under Maduro's presidency has faced a severe economic crisis marked by hyperinflation, shortages of basic goods, and widespread poverty. It has also seen significant political unrest, international sanctions, and a humanitarian crisis.
Many international bodies and countries, including the United States and the European Union, have imposed sanctions on Maduro's government, citing human rights abuses and democratic backsliding. Some nations recognize opposition figures as interim leaders.
