Most of the facts Venezuelans have been given about their president's condition have been sparse and contradictory. This hardly suggests that Mr Chavez is likely soon to be restored to full health; rather, he may well be dying. Mr Chavez's incapacity poses a constitutional problem for Venezuela, and a political problem for the whole of Latin America. He was due to be sworn in as president on January 10th, but his inauguration was postponed. Fortunately Venezuela's constitution, which Mr Chavez pushed through in 1999, provides for such a situation. It says, in a nutshell, that if the president-elect's incapacity is permanent, the head of the National Assembly should take over running the country while a fresh election is held; if it is temporary, the vice-president should step in for up to 180 days. In any normal democracy one of those two things would now happen. But Venezuela is not a normal democracy. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
