\nOver the last few months, the U.S. has increased its efforts to dislodge Chavez\u2019s democratically elected successor, Nicolas Maduro. In its most recent attempt, the U.S. sent \u201chumanitarian aid\u201d to Colombia in a show of solidarity with the Venezuelan opposition and the \u201csuffering boys and girls.\u201d However, violence- perpetrated by opposition forces- broke out along the border and resulted in the injury of numerous state police officials.<\/p>\n

This \u201cphilanthropic\u201d ploy was denounced by Venezuelan government officials before an international delegation at the United Nations last week, when Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza revealed that the trucks of \u201cfood\u201d were carrying equipment for barricades and anti-government movements lodged by the opposition.<\/p>\n

Despite these hardships, Maduro’s government continues Chavez\u2019s mission, founding new social programs to boost the economy and employment opportunities, while still ensuring the heart and spirit of \u201cChavismo\u201d is reflected in modern-day Venezuela.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
