Hugo Chavez´s death spells many dangers not just for Venezuela but the entire Region. His foreign policy stood strong prioritizing Venezuela's sovereignty confronting the US, UK, EU and Israel.
Adrian Salbuchi: New constitution of Venezuela... requires the president of the National Assembly, a gentleman by the name of Diosdado Cabello, to take over and then in 30 days new elections have to be called. Now Nicolas Maduro will be the Chavez’s party candidate, and he certainly stands [a] good chance of election, especially with the country’s emotional state right now, but Chavez had huge enemies within Venezuela and, more importantly, outside Venezuela. So unfortunately the United States in the first instance and other countries such as Israel and countries in Western Europe will do all they can to support the opposition candidate, Henrique Capriles Radonski, who came in second in the presidential elections and who will definitely have all the financial, political and media support of the global power structures against Mr. Maduro as the Chavez candidate.
