Titled the "Plan of the Future", Maduro's vision builds on the five major objectives of the Plan de la Patria formulated by former President Hugo Chávez back in 2003, as reported by the Ministry of Popular Power for Planning.
The references to Chávez were present throughout his intervention which took place in Miraflores, the president's official residency. The speech started out emphasizing the historical significance of Simón Bolívar before shifting to recalling the legacy of Hugo Chávez, recalling the challenges Venezuela faced before 1999.
