The inauguration
ceremony of Nicolás Maduro took
place after his convincing victory in the presidential elections last year.

Venezuela and Nicaragua a “Troika of Tyranny.”

ceremony was held in the building of the Supreme Court of the Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela. Delegations from many countries of the world, including
the heads of Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia and El Salvador, arrived in Venezuela to take part in the ceremony. Besides the Russian and Belarusian delegations, the Presidents
of Abkhazia and South Ossetia took part in the events in Caracas.
After taking the oath of office as President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro and all the participants of the ceremony moved
to the Military Academy, where the Armed Forces of the country took the oath of allegiance to the lawfully elected president.
