Maduro signs mourning decree as "acting president" of Venezuela
委内瑞拉政府6日公布了马杜罗作为代总统签署的第一份法令。
马杜罗于5日签署这项法令，规定自查韦斯逝世当天起连续7天为举国哀悼日，全国降半旗，禁止酗酒和一切娱乐活动。
委内瑞拉总检察长西利亚·弗洛雷斯6日表示，马杜罗将暂代总统职务直至在30天内重新举行选举，“这不仅符合宪法，也是查韦斯的命令”。
委内瑞拉前总统查韦斯因病医治无效于5日下午在委内瑞拉首都加拉加斯逝世。根据委内瑞拉宪法，查韦斯本应于1月10日在国会宣誓就职成为委内瑞拉总统。若查韦斯在就职前或新任期的前4年内“彻底离职”，将分别由国会主席或副总统暂代总统行使权力，并在30天内组织新的总统选举。
Venezuelan vice-president Nicolas Maduro signed Tuesday a decree ordering a seven-day national mourning for late President Hugo Chavez in his capacity as the country's acting president.
The decree, dated March 5, 2013, was published with Maduro's signature as "acting president" by the Official Gazette. It orders national mourning for the "regretful and painful death and irreparable loss of the hero of the fatherland Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias."
Maduro, 51, was Venezuela's Foreign Minister and became the Vice President on Oct. 10, 2012, in replacement of Elias Jaua, who later became the new Foreign Minister.
On Dec. 8, 2012, before traveling to Cuba to undergo a fourth cancer surgery, Chavez appointed Maduro as his political heir and asked his followers to vote him in case that he could not overcome his disease.
The decree also orders all national flags to fly at half mast in all the public and private buildings in the country until March 11.
In addition, during the mourning period, festivities are banned as well as the sell of alcoholic beverages. Apart from the armed forces, ordinary citizens are not allowed to carry weapons.
According to Venezuela's Constitution, after the absolute absence of a President during the term's first year, the Vice President will assume as acting president and will hold elections within 30 days. |
