Acting President Nicolas Maduro said Hugo Chavez gave his blessing through a small bird on the first day of his official campaign for the presidency as he looks to capitalize on the popularity of the former socialist leader.
Maduro, speaking from Chavez’s home state of Barinas one month after the ex-president’s death, said he went to a chapel to pray when the bird appeared and circled him three times before whistling to him.
