Overview

On March 5, 2013 Venezuela's Vice President Nicolas Maduro announced that President Hugo Chavez had died, opening up a period of serious tension and uncertainty in Venezuela. Will Chavez's party unite in support of his annointed successor, Nicolas Maduro, and will he be able to sustain popularity and chavismo?

Wilson Center experts answered questions from the media in a recorded conference call on these topics and more, with audio and full transcript available here.
