The final stages of a totalitarian government. Maduro will be run out of office on a rail within a year. His vacuous leadership can’t last on thin air forever. Won't end as simply as that. The country has a large percentage of people who live off the government, have done so for a long time, and would have difficulty getting a private sector job.
They will kill rather than allow the fall of the system which supports them.
To cover the freebies for the poor, Maduro needs $200 a barrel oil. Oil is currently at $45 per barrel. He doesn't have the money anymore to keep giving the poor free stuff at the rate he and Hugo had been.
The money has dried up. He just got back from a tour of the world with his hand out and no one gave him a dime. The poor in Venezuela are not like the low information voters in this country. They are dirt poor and wouldn't be able to stop a revolution from Maduro's political opposition if they tried. There are no jobs in Venezuela just like there are no jobs in Mexico. The place is a mess.
He will get thrown out of office within a year.
