"On Tuesday afternoon, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez passed away,
after a long battle with cancer. The announcement by Vice President
Nicolás Maduro came just minutes after Chávez’s death and elicited an

of them eager to rush the “transition” in the hopes that Chávez’s
political project would soon fall apart."
