Chavez, who led the country from 1998 until his death from cancer in 2013, implemented the socialist Bolivarian Revolution that was praised by democrats and leftists around the world.
President Chavez’s socialist reforms initially helped alleviate poverty thanks to the global oil boom, but ultimately bankrupted the country.
Chavez also built a cult of personality around his leadership that only intensified with his death, with statues, murals and memorials celebrating his life still being erected across the country.
By the time of his death, Venezuela, previously one of the richest and safest countries in Latin America, had become its poorest and most dangerous.

Venezuela is currently ruled by Chavez’s hand-picked successor, President Nicolas Maduro, who has successfully rigged three presidential elections.
