Caracas (AFP) – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is sworn for a third six-year term in office, shunned internationally over claims of voter fraud and repression, but bolstered by a loyal military. Maduro takes the oath before parliament, vowing his next term would be a “period of peace,” a day after thousands took to the streets to protest his alleged power grab. IMAGES
