The word was that the only reason that Maduro pretended to accept the results of the election was that the military commanders refused to back him against the clear will of the people. However, his more recent moves hint that things might have changed.

It won't be boring... and with Venezuela mere weeks (to perhaps months) away from bankruptcy... it probably won't be long in coming.
