Summary
Venezuela is at an economic crisis and the current situation, for example the shortage of electric power, is bad.
The president of the country, Mr Maduro decleared a state of emergency for 60 days.He said the reason was that the business elite of boycotting and the U.S. are conspiring to overthrow his government.
The decree gives him extra powers including the right to impose tougher security measures.
This is not allowed in constitutional.
In spite of the opposition-controlled parliament rejected it, the supreme court upheld this decree.
Furthermore the opposition handed the petition to hold a referendum for removing Mr.Maduro from power.1.85m people signed it but vice-president has ruled out the possibility of referendum.
Opinion
I wii express my opinion. First of all democracy in Venezuela is wavering. Constitutional is basically unshakable because it is an important norm for rule and authority. The government must not change its contents easily. When our prime minister Shinzou Abe tried to change the constitutional, many people rejected and it was a social problem. I think the president does not understand democracy. And what is worth in Venezuela he supreme court is manipulated by him. One of the function of a supreme court is to stop a violent of the government.
The petition followed a right procedure so I wish a referendum would be held accurately.
Democracy in Venezuela will get better.
