# "Por amor a Chávez, Maduro presidente": campaign mural, Margarita Island, 2013

Painted wall on Margarita Island: a portrait of Maduro in yellow, blue and red beside the text 'Por amor a Chávez, MADURO PRESIDENTE', a heart in the national colours, and a painted pair of eyes (Chávez's) set between 'Chávez' and the heart. The tell: the case for the candidate is the dead leader's name and gaze; Maduro's own platform appears nowhere on the wall.

## Text on the object

Original (Spanish) · read from the image, not independently checked

```
Por Amor a CHÁVEZ
MADURO
PRESIDENTE
```

English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader)

```
For love of CHÁVEZ
MADURO
PRESIDENT
```

The painted eyes between 'CHÁVEZ' and the heart carry no text; neither does the heart (Venezuelan flag colours, one star visible).
