Venezuela is a country located on the northern coast of South America. It borders Guyana to the east, Brazil to the south and Colombia to the west (“Basic Facts on Venezuela”). It is interesting to see how a country that was once rich and had a strong government can end up caught in an economic crisis. Then, this may result in violence and chaos in the country. The worst part is that a crisis in one country can produce shocks all over the world.

Issue: In Venezuela, the United Socialist Party (PSUV) has been in the power 18 years first with Chavez and them with Maduro, both elected by democratic elections. Now the country is divided into two significant groups Chavistas, people who support socialism and the actual president, and opposition, people anti-government and believe the corruption of the actual president. With this, the country is immersed in extreme violence, constants violations of humans rights and alarm power corruption. Additionally, some problems that the dictatorship produces like protests, the end of commercial relations with other countries, and the decreasing economy. The abuse of power leading to incrust the violations of humans right is the significant issue that Venezuela has to face today. This has an extended history that began in 1999, with the victory of Chavez in the name of socialism, but the break in the government started when Maduro raises in power and with the end of relations with the United States, who was the principal oil buyer. As well, the counting falling oil prices had decreased the Venezuela’s economy and limited the public inversion that the government used to do. With bad relations and an affected economy poverty, violence and discomfort with the government began. The corrupt power and constant violation of human rights are affecting in significant ways the country, particularly in the investment that the government

In Puerto Rico, political parties are associated to the three status choices. There is the New Progressive Party that supports statehood, also the Popular Democratic Party for the commonwealth status and the Puerto Rican Independence Party that prefers as it’s name state, independence. These three ideals have painted the landscape of the island’s political history with the pro-statehood and pro-commonwealth parties with the vast majority of followers.

John Locke was an English philosopher in the 17th century. Locke explained what the most important purposes of a government were. He claimed that the government’s  primary purpose was to protect people’s natural rights; life, liberty, and property. However, the country of Venezuela’s government does not protect any of these rights, and the people should revolt and force a change in the government.  Venezuela is a medium sized county in South America with a population of about 31,400,000 people. Venezuela’s main language is Spanish and has a Federal Presidential Republic under president Nicolas Maduro.Venezuela gained its independence from Spain in 1811.

To untangle this question the book uses primary and secondary sources. The primary ones are the result of several years of field work in situ in the mentioned countries, except Argentina; and the secondary ones are an exhaustive review of the scholarly over democratic regimes and electoral systems, political parties and ethnic parties, and social movements in the international and national levels. While doing this, she builds her own basic category of analysis: the ethnic party. An ethnic party is defined as any political organization with a strong ethnic component: ethnic leaders, majority of ethnic members, or have ethnic or cultural related core demands.

Barrio Rising is a book about urban popular politics and the making of modern Venezuela. It portrays the democracy and violence in Venezuela between the 1950s and the Bolivarian Revolution of 1998. People who lived during these times protested about the unfair treatment they received from the government. They acted out in violence, guerilla warfares, and protesting. Their main goal, in these communities, was to have their voices heard and their demands met to their standards.

Venezuela was thrown into uncharted political territory after the government-controlled Supreme Court backtracked on its decision to suspend the opposition-controlled National Assembly.

Mexico’s political party that is most dominated the country’s political institutions when it was found back in 1929 and then eventually ended towards the end of the 20th century.

Violence towards government’s opposition is a serious problem in Venezuela and it has been increasing through the years. It affects every single one of the Venezuelans and many people around the world may not be conscious about it. Even though, it can be extremely hard to solve this problem, in fact, it requires many effort, dedication, patience and of course, time. People need to understand that every problem has a solution and they cannot give up right now. It is time for each person to express herself/himself without being afraid or feeling intimidated. As a final point, it is important to understand that as humanity evolves, more problems are will be originated and it is up to society to be prepared to solve those

There are mass shortages. There is simply just not enough food to go around. Imports have fallen two-thirds since 2012. Venezuela’s economy dipped 8 percent in 2016 and is expect to dip even more this year. Since the price controls are so tight, even private companies cannot import raw materials. Coca-Cola halted production in 2015 due to a sugar shortage. The government continues to blame the economic disaster on an economic war started by foreign powers that are against the Venezuelan government. Maduro claims the business elite supported by countries like the United States and Spain have cut back production on foodstuffs to create a shortage, hoping to detonate a social crisis that would help dethrone him. The citizens are looking for their own solutions. They have no choice but to buy food on the black market. Prices on the black market are many times that of the government-established price. The government is on a crack down on these black market food distributors who obtain food illegally and resell it at a steep price. One of the country’s most costly price controls is that on gasoline. You are able to fill up a full take for a few cents. On the black market you could flip gasoline and make more money over the boarder. This is so profitable that even engineers, doctors, and lawyers have given up their day job to participate. You will even find children smuggling gasoline in coke bottle across the border into Colombia. The

As a result of the coup led by people in opposition to Chavez, Pedro Carmona was established as the new President, who was initially a former trade organization leader. This decision was made in consensus with the Venezuelan civil society and the military forces. His first course of action was to “dissolve the parliament and the courts so he suspended them from the national assembly.” He was “free to rule by decree” even though his presidency lasted no more than 48 hours. Eva Golinger believes that is no shock that just five months before the coup occurred, Carmona was a guest of the State Department. Late president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez and the current President Maduro concur that “it is the government of the United States that is behind the plans of destabilization and coups against Venezuela” (Pictures 2016).
