The serious situation in Venezuela

The situation in Venezuela is becoming more and more dangerous. If, from the point of view of food supply and medicine, the situation is more than critical, President Maduro's initiative to create a constituent to overcome parliamentary prerogatives is more and more like trying to hit a state. The country has been fragmented for some time now, but now the traditional consensus of the party's party members is beginning to fall: the poorest part of the country, the country's most critical condition. This may be one of the reasons that led Maduro to seek an absurd solution and hardly achievable, if not at the expense of exacerbating even more the country's tensions. The solution appears to be found dictated more by the despair and the inability to generate a resolution of the situation. Probably the best would be new elections, but, probably, that's just what Maduro wants to avoid, because he is sure of the defeat. Violence in the country is now an almost normal factor in Venezuelan life: Protesters who are increasingly battling with law enforcement officers add criminals and desperate bands who are trying to take advantage of the chaos in the country . As we understand, the attempt to exaggerate the legislative power, where the majority is against Maduro, seems to go against any logic of reconciliation between the two political parties, the only tool, perhaps, really capable of restoring a more normal state of affairs , But the responsibility lies with the Venezuelan government and its president, who do not intend to give up the power they have gained. The building of the Constituent appears to be a factor in maintaining the power of the current governing group, with the establishment of government-friendly figures in the constitutional commission, where Maduro's wife will also be accommodated. Moreover, participation in the vote will not be universal and perhaps the vote will not be even secret. It seems certain that the government will decide who will be able to take part in the vote, with the certainty that at least half the voters will be elected among the groups supporting Maduro. At the same time, the president's followers are trying to intimidate the parliament with violent acts, including the attempt to occupy the seat of the Venezuelan Legislative Assembly. On the international level, appeals for a peaceful solution to the situation in the South American country, which seems to be on the brink of civil war, have been multiplied. One of the most involved actors is the Vatican diplomacy, which is working to seek an understanding. Concern is shared by the United States, Brazil and Argentina, who have all condemned Maduro's initiative as a violence against democracy. The current situation in Venezuela is largely dependent on economic reasons linked to the fall in the price of oil, from which the country's economy has been and is still too dependent; Governments, you know that of Chavez, and that of Maduro never elaborating an alternative economic and productive strategy, this has caused the current extreme poverty situation, which is extending to much of the country's social fabric. The refusal to undertake economic reforms sufficient to guarantee the population sufficient levels of adequate quality of life has been added to a lack of redistribution of wealth, which has been directed towards the neighbors and neighborhoods closest to Maduro; These, even in the negative economic situation that afflicts the country, did not prove to be a successor to Chavez's height and to have established a sort of populist authoritarianism, which he wanted to be left but which in the end was distinguished only to favor a part Politics, without following the vision, perhaps utopian, of his predecessor, who somehow tried to implement a redistribution of national income. If Maduro remains in power, it is announced a dictatorial regime that brings back the South American region back for several years and can favor an alteration of the balance, thanks to the possible entry of foreign powers alongside the dictator to exploit the natural resources of the country. It is therefore a threat to the opening of a new international front that may once again conjure up the cold war scenarios or those of the over-invasion of great powers.
