Venezuela’s regime is hanging on by a thread

The ruling clique is prolonging the agony by rejecting a democratic transition. The desperate, and repressed Venezuelan people deserve their country back, writes Enrique ter Horst.            

Venezuela’s democratic institutions are in ruins, its coffers are empty, and its citizens are searching for food in rubbish dumps.

Its people are dying from starvation, from preventable and curable diseases (at much higher rates than the Latin American average), and from violence — including, in some cases, gunshot wounds inflicted by their own government.
