Nicolás Maduro is inaugurated in Venezuela despite failing to present official voting records
Opposition candidate Edmundo González, who had promised to return to the country and be the one to be sworn in as president, remains in Dominican Republic
Nicolás Maduro was proclaimed president of Venezuela on Friday. He was sworn in before the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, who imposed the presidential sash on him. The Chavista leader returned to office without having shown the electoral records proving his victory, despite the fact that almost the entire international community has demanded it.
