The President also calls on Venezuela’s political leaders, institutions of governance and security agencies to ensure that the procedures stipulated in the Venezuelan Constitution are strictly followed to ensure the peaceful and orderly emergence of a worthy successor to President Chavez.
“He prays that God Almighty will receive President Chavez’s soul and grant him eternal rest” the statement read.
