Early life and education[edit]
Maduro Guerra was born in Venezuela on 21 June 1990. He was the son of his father's
first marriage with Adriana Guerra Angulo.[3] As a child, he was interested in
arts[4] and between and 1998 and 2004, he was a flutist in Venezuela's El Sistema
program.[1] Though Maduro Guerra sought a career in music, he placed 77 of 235 on a
waiting list for the National Experimental University of the Arts and decided to
abandon the idea.[4] His high school scores were "not extraordinary", he scored
42.368% in reading classes and 64.461% in mathematics, graduating from Liceo
Urbaneja Achelpohl School.[4]

Maduro Guerra attended the National Experimental University of the Armed Forces
where he specialized in economics.[1][5] In 2011, he began working for the Public
Ministry of Venezuela until his condition became unknown among the organization in
2014.[5]

Political career[edit]
Maduro Guerra's political career began shortly after his father became President of
Venezuela. On 23 September 2013, he was appointed by his father as Head of the
Corps of Special Inspectors of the Presidency, an organization designated to
observe the effects of policies implemented by the President of Venezuela.[6] On
his 24th birthday on 21 June 2014, his father again appointed him as Coordinator of
the National Film School of Venezuela.[5] Prior to his appointments, Maduro Guerra
had little experience as a politician[1] and no experience in cinema.[5]

On 21 July 2014, the PSUV held a party congress and voted for Maduro Guerra to be a
delegate for the El Valle Capital District.[2]

Constituent Assembly[edit]
Following the 2017 Venezuelan Constituent Assembly election, Maduro Guerra was
elected into the 2017 Constituent Assembly of Venezuela.[7]

On August 11, 2017 US President Donald Trump said that he is not going to rule out
a military option to confront the autocratic government of Nicols Maduro and the
deepening crisis in Venezuela.[8] Maduro Guerra responded, stating during the 5th
Constituent Assembly of Venezuela session that if the United States were to attack
Venezuela, "the rifles would arrive in New York, Mr. Trump, we would arrive and
take the White House".[9]

Controversy[edit]
Nepotism[edit]
His father President Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were accused of nepotism for
allegedly placing family members in positions throughout the Venezuelan government.
[10][11][12][13] His appointments as Head of the Corps of Special Inspectors of the
Presidency and Coordinator of the National Film School were criticized as examples
of his family's acts of alleged nepotism.[10]

On 25 January 2017, President Maduro again named his son as the director of a newly
established position, the Director General of Delegations and Presidential
Instructions of the Vice President, raising more allegations of nepotism.[14]

Jose Zalt wedding incident[edit]

At the wedding of Jose Zalt, a Syrian-Venezuelan businessman that owns the clothing
brand Wintex, on 14 March 2015, Maduro Guerra was seen being showered with American
dollars at the gathering in the luxurious Gran Melia Hotel in Caracas.[15] The
incident caused outrage among Venezuelans who believed this to be hypocritical of
President Maduro, especially since many Venezuelans were experiencing hardships due
to the poor state of the economy and due to the president's public denouncements of
capitalism.[15][16][17][18][19][20] During a PSUV National Congress, Maduro Guerra
responded to the incident, calling it "gossip".[21]

Personal life[edit]
Maduro Guerra is married to Grysell Torres and has two daughters; one born in 2007
and the other born in 2014.[4]
