VENEZUELA: Maduro adds punch to the party
President Nicolás Maduro headed a special event to mark the first anniversary of the death of former president Hugo Chávez (1999-2013) on 5 March. In a decidedly Chávez-like touch Maduro used the occasion to announce the severance of diplomatic and trade relations with Panama. Panama has been forthright in calling for an urgent meeting of foreign ministers at the Organization of American States (OAS) to discuss the weeks of violence in Venezuela and respond to the unfolding political crisis.
