On Friday, January 10, in Caracas, Nicolás Maduro was sworn in as the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for a third term (2025-2031). Hours later, about 587 miles away in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the failed candidate of the far-right opposition, Edmundo González, a self-proclaimed commander-in-chief, issued a message on social media ordering Venezuela’s military high command to “disregard the illegal orders given by those who have seized power.” Just last Thursday, in the Dominican Republic, flanked by a group of right-wing former Latin American presidents, González announced his intention to take possession of the presidency in Caracas.

January 10 is a crucial day for Venezuela: the inauguration of Nicolás Maduro as President, after having been re-elected with 52% of the votes on July 28. This act not only marks the continuity of the Bolivarian Revolution, but also reflects the commitment of the Venezuelan people to the construction of a socialist model and in resistance to the aggression of US imperialism and the oligarchic elites. The Venezuelan reactionary sectors, supported by the US and its allies, have tried to destabilize the country on multiple occasions and once again now, with the defeated candidate Edmundo González self-proclaiming himself the winner and declaring that he will take office as president on the 10th.

More than 2,000 social leaders, communicators and national and international political activists gathered today at the La Carlota Center, Caracas, to participate in the Great World Anti-Fascist Festival and, from that front, to support the inauguration of President Nicolás Maduro Moros. Delegations from more than 100 countries will travel to Caracas this Friday to accompany the ceremony, which confirms that Venezuela’s institutionality is recognized and respected by the peoples of the world, despite the destabilization attempts of the right wing and its constant calls to isolate the country from the rest of the world.
