In 2025.
Shortly after the swearing, presidential, Maduro criticized the opponents during the speech. The re-elected president said that Venezuela was at the "center of a world war", a conflict that, in his words, is being fought by "US satellite governments".
"There is not a single country where there is not a permanent daily campaign of 20 years of permanent manipulation against the commander [Hugo] Chavez and this humble workman," Maduro said. .
In his speech, the Venezuelan insisted in criticizing neighboring countries with presidents opposed to Maduro, such as Brazil and Colombia. "Look at the case of Brazil, the emergence of a fascist like Jair Bolsonaro," he attacked.
On Colombia, whose President Iván Duque also opposes the Chávez regime, Maduro said: "The liberated Colombia was the army of [Simon] Bolivar, not Captain America."

In 2013, when Maduro came to power, Venezuela suffered many violent demonstrations. s, which caused about 200 deaths and a socio-economic collapse.
Between 2004 and 2015, in the governments of Hugo Chavez and the beginning of Nicolas Maduro, the country received 750 billion dollars from the sale of oil. The Chávez government took advantage of this rain of "petrodollars" to finance social programs for imports of almost everything that was consumed in the country.
in 2014, the price of oil sank. In addition to receiving less money for its main product, Venezuela also recorded a significant drop in production.
What led Venezuela to economic collapse and the biggest crisis in its history
The state has again seen its public spending increase to maintain its social programs. The external debt has increased fivefold.
In trying to overvalue the Venezuelan currency, the government caused value distortions that caused a crisis of shortage and contributed to a scenario of hyperinflation. In 2016, the shortage of medicines led the Parliament to promulgate a "humanitarian crisis".
In February 2018, a survey revealed that nine out of ten Venezuelans lived below the poverty line and that more than half of them were on the plateau of extreme poverty.
The scenario of power outages, lack of food, drugs, transportation and water and hyperinflation, with a minimum wage allowing the purchase of electricity. one kilogram of milk powder has caused mbad emigration in the last four years.

According to the agencies. At the United Nations (UN), about three million Venezuelans live abroad, of which at least 2.3 million left Venezuela in 2015. Most of them traveled to Colombia and Peru. .
In Brazil, there are currently more than 30,000 Venezuelans – about 10,000 of whom have crossed the border in the first six months of 2018.
The opponents of Maduro accuse him of pushing the country into the abyss with senseless economic measures, subject the people to hunger and to be a "dictator" supported by the army.
However, he calls himself "democratic president" and "victim" of the United States and the "right-wing economic war", which he blames for hyperinflation and lack of food. The re-elected president promises prosperity.
