Nicolas Maduro

President of Venezuela
Nicolás Maduro Moros was born on November 23, 1962, in Caracas, Venezuela. He received his secondary education, graduating from Avali Lyceum and a public high school, and also completed a one-year course of study at a political education center in Cuba. He began his career as a bus driver and later became an unofficial member of the Caracas Metro workers' union in the 1970s and 1980s. In politics, Maduro rose from a member of the National Assembly and Speaker of Parliament to Minister of Foreign Affairs (2006-2013) and Vice President (2012-2013).
