Caracas, Jan 10 (Prensa Latina) President Nicolás Maduro was sworn in today as president of Venezuela for the 2025-2031 six-year term.
In a solemn session in the Elliptical Hall of the Federal Legislative Palace, the re-elected president took his oath in a symbolic act on the original Constitution signed by Commander Hugo Chávez after its approval in 1999.
The re-elected head of state stated during his swearing-in that he would comply with all mandates and obligations arising from the Magna Carta and the national laws of the Republic.
He assured that this new presidential term will be one of peace, prosperity, equality and new democracy.
“I swear it on history, on my life, and I will do so, and we will do so, I swear it,” the president stressed.
Maduro arrived at the Federal Legislative Palace accompanied by the first combatant and deputy to the National Assembly Cilia Flores and the executive vice president Delcy Rodríguez.
In addition to the first vice president of the United Socialist Party, Diosdado Cabello, he was received by the head of the Legislative Branch, Jorge Rodríguez.
Thousands of citizens also welcomed the dignitary, stationed around the parliamentary building.
Once inside the Federal Palace, Maduro was received by the Board of Directors of Parliament, who accompanied him to the Elliptical Hall, where he was acclaimed by deputies and 51 international delegations present, of which 13 are heads of state and government.
More than two thousand representatives of governments, social movements from more than a hundred countries on all continents and international organizations traveled to this capital to attend Maduro’s swearing-in this Friday, at the Federal Legislative Palace.
Parallel to the inauguration of the Bolivarian leader, thousands of Venezuelans from Caracas and other states of the country are moving towards the historic center to accompany Maduro and celebrate what they describe here as a historic assumption.
