    The world, has known throughout its recent history, a diversity of dictators: Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Fidel Castro, or Hugo Chávez. Precisely, in the latter, in Chávez, is the origin of the character that today it's treated in my book: Nicolás Maduro Moros.
    In Venezuela, many consider Maduro as a "burro" (donkey). In fact, they nickname him "Maburro". The funny thing is that despite being a "donkey", has contributed greatly, along with Chavez, to create a regime, which has been in power for more than 20 years, thanks to two factors: the help of the Venezuelans "Petrodollars" , and the efficient advice of the Cuban regime. Both factors have also contributed greatly to the development of the expansion of the Chavista revolutionary ideology in the region (Nicaragua, Bolivia, El Salvador, Uruguay, etc).
    Throughout the book, I will try to make known to this character, who undoubtedly has earned his fame. Fama, which has led him to be considered by many, as a true dictator, who exceeds in creativity to many dictators, including his political dad, Hugo Chávez himself.

      Introduction.

      The world, has known throughout its recent history, a diversity of dictators: Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Fidel Castro, or Hugo Chávez. Precisely, in the latter, in Chávez, is the origin of the character that today it's treated in my book: Nicolás Maduro Moros.

      In Venezuela, many consider Maduro as a burro (donkey). In fact, they nickname him Maburro. The funny thing is that despite being a donkey, has contributed greatly, along with Chavez, to create a regime, which has been in power for more than 20 years, thanks to two factors: the help of the Venezuelans Petrodollars , and the efficient advice of the Cuban regime. Both factors have also contributed greatly to the development of the expansion of the Chavista revolutionary ideology in the region (Nicaragua, Bolivia, El Salvador, Uruguay, etc).

      Throughout the book, I will try to make known to this character, who undoubtedly has earned his fame. Fama, which has led him to be considered by many, as a true dictator, who exceeds in creativity to many dictators, including his political dad, Hugo Chávez himself.

      Chapter 1 - And where did Nicolás Maduro come from?

      Well, the official Chavista version indicates that Nicolás Maduro Moros was supposedly born in Caracas on November 23, 1962. I say, supposedly, since after assuming the presidency in 2013, the rumor came to light that Maduro was born In colombia. In a chapter later, I will tell you the story of this rumour.

      As a child, Maduro received classes at the Liceo José Ávalos, in the popular parish of El Valle de Caracas. It is said that his first contact with the policy occurred when he became a member of a student association of his institute. Others say that his father, Nicolás Maduro García, was a trade unionist and active activist of the political party Movimiento Electoral del Pueblo (MEP), and that as a child, he went accompanied by his father to several events of the party, where the Maduro boy never showed interest, since I did not see the MEP as an extreme party, or ultra left.

      Maduro was raised as a Catholic, although I think he never stepped on a Catholic church of his own free will. In 2012, it was learned that Maduro was a follower of the Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba. However, he declares himself to be a Christian.

      Maduro with the Sai Baba in New Delhi.

      Nicolás Maduro's biographer, Roger Santodomingo, said in a report in 2013 that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were faithful followers of the guru, and that in his office, it was full of amulets, and that some came from of Sai Baba , a person who only accepted blind faith .

      At age 12, Maduro was already active in a radical leftist organization called Ruptura. Among his ranks was also the historical Venezuelan guerrilla, Douglas Ignacio Bravo Mora, who had participated in the coups military of February 4 and November 27. of 1992. The activity of the group Ruptura, concentrated in numerous actions of shock, such as painted on the street and violent protests.

      According to some sources, when Maduro was 15 years old, he was expelled from the high school for putting together a large mobilization. Shortly after, he managed to graduate from high school at the José Ávalos high school, in Caracas, although after finishing high school he did not enter university, and then, he started working on his own.

      It is said that in 1983, Maduro worked as a bodyguard for José Vicente Rangel, a left-wing Venezuelan political leader, who at the time was a presidential candidate, and who, years later, in 2002, was vice president of the Republic with Hugo Chávez.

      Maduro, already 25 years old, during the years 1986 and 1987, he studied at the Cuban school of formation of left political cadres Ñico López in the city of Havana. And all thanks to a scholarship that got him La Liga Socialista, ultra left organization, which was very linked in his time as a student at the lyceum.

      They say that during his stay in Cuba, he was very loyal to the ideology of the Cuban revolution, and that some of his teachers saw in him a brilliant future as a disciple of the regime. In any case, since 1986, the Cuban regime had already signed Maduro into its ranks, and the Castro, to a large extent, bet on its future.

      Maduro, accompanied by a group of comrades during his stay in Cuba in 1986.

      The writer Carlos Alberto Montaner, in his article The Man of Havana, reveals that Maduro began to organize contacts between Chavez and the Castro brothers when he studied at that Cuban school of formation of leftist political cadres. According to the writer, Nicolás Maduro is much more than a sympathizer of the Cuban revolution or a radical Marxist outcast, platonically in love with communism: he is an old collaborator of Castro's intelligence. That is why Raúl Castro convinced Hugo Chávez that this was his natural heir. Maduro was part of the group. He was one of them, says Montaner.

      On the other hand, it is also said that during this stage of ideological formation, Maduro meets Bolivian coca grower Evo Morales, who received political courses in Havana, and who is now president of Bolivia. So, at least, we have two presidents who have left Marxist-Leninist ideological training courses in Cuba.

      Back in Caracas, Maduro stands out as a student leader of Maoist groups (ultra left) at the Central University of Venezuela, and although there are no records of his enrollment in that university, some sources claim that he studied for two years in the School of Administration. It is noteworthy, that it was very common, that groups of militants from the ultra left, posed as students within the universities, to organize vandalism, and to look for supporters. In fact, in the years 60, it was a habitual practice of the radical movements of the left, to create chaos within the universities. In any case, Maduro, has never spoken of his supposed stage as a university student.

      On June 9, 1988, in Caracas, he married Adriana Guerra Angulo, and in 1990, his only son, Nicolás Maduro Guerra, was born. The marriage lasted until 1994.

      In 1990 he began working as an area inspector in the Metro de Caracas. Later, he found employment as a bus driver in 1991, a position he held for 7 years. During his work as a driver, he began his political career by becoming an unofficial trade unionist representing bus drivers of the Caracas Metro. It is said that he was the driver with more fines for the bad exercise of his profession.

      It is also reported (rumors) that he participated in several attempts prior to the military coup d'état of November 27, 1992 against the government of then-Venezuelan President Carlos Andrés Pérez.

      On December 16, 1993, together with a group of workers sympathetic to the Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement 200 (MRB-200), Maduro paid a visit to Chavez, who was being held in the Yare Prison due to his failed military coup attempt. . On one of those visits, he met who would be his second wife, Cecilia Flores. Maduro, since then, became an ultra activist for the liberation of Chávez. After the pardon granted by President Caldera to Chávez in 1994, Maduro, Cecilia Flores and another group of supporters helped Chávez organize his political movement, which culminated in the creation on October 21, 1997 of a new party called Movimiento Fifth Republic (MVR), replacing the MBR-200.
