Christmas in Venezuela will be celebrated in October this year
Stockholm, September 4 (Hibya) - Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has announced that Christmas will be celebrated in Venezuela in October this year.
Maduro said in a television broadcast on Monday, “We are in September, and it already feels like Christmas. So this year, as a tribute to you and to show my gratitude, I'm moving Christmas to October 1.”
According to experts, the Venezuelan leader, who is facing the biggest political challenge of his turbulent 11-year rule, promised all Venezuelans a Christmas full of “peace, happiness, and security.”
The move comes after turmoil following the July elections, in which Maduro and the opposition declared winners. The ensuing demonstrations and unrest have so far left 27 people dead, nearly 200 injured, and around 2,400 arrested.
Maduro's victory claims have been challenged by several Latin American countries, the US and the EU.
