April Caribbean Memo 2013
Date: 01-April-2013
From: News Center Publications
Dear Friends,
It may be that opposition leader Henrique Capriles won the April
14th presidential election in Venezuela and
not Nicolas
Maduro.
We’ll never
know after calls for a recount and an investigation into possible election
fraud complaints were turned down by
government election officials.
Even with those
doubts about election results following the death of Socialist President Hugo
Chavez last month, government officials did announce the results of a
surprisingly close election race.
Of the 14.9
million votes cast, Maduro was declared winner by 267,000 votes or a percentage
win of less than two percent.
After
government officials refused to investigate fraud charges, they announced instead all votes
would be audited, nothing more.
So with that
officially settled by the government, Maduro was sworn into office.
We talk about
these matters because of our interest in the Caribbean, Latin American and its
extension to other parts of the world.
As a result, we
have six novels backing up the point and they can be found quickly. To find
them, click News Center Publications after reaching the
Web address ‘www.natcarnes.com.’ Once
there click: Amazon.com.

Caribbean Memo and a Memo collection can also be

Remember, we are interested in your comments, pro
and con. In other words, that's how we learn.
And please let us know if you want your name taken
off the Caribbean Memo list.
