    Maduro is set to apparently extend his 12-year rule of Venezuela by a unknown number of years as the article never mentions how much longer it has. Moves like this suggests Venezuela is shifting from “electoral authoritarianism” to being “a closed, hegemonic authoritarian regime”. Simply put if Maduro feel like he could get away with it, his government might get rid of elections if he feels like he consolidated enough power. In my opinion Maduro is a dictator and moves like this only strengthen my opinion that he is a dictator. A question I would like to ask is if democracy in Venezuela can ever be brought back now?
