Municipal elections in Venezuela most probably will confirm deeply divided country
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro says that winning Sunday's municipal elections is essential for continuing the country's socialist revolution and honoring the legacy of the late Hugo Chavez.

This should be an interesting result to see if he can actually change the results and is not how will the powers that be react? Do you suppose the bus driver sleeps with BOTH eyes open? Such a tragedy to see such an oil rich nation overwhelmed by such poverty.

Go figure.
