Maduro's Government

Maduro's government in Venezuela is led by Nicolás Maduro, who became president in 2013 after the death of Hugo Chávez. It is characterized by a strong executive control, with the government maintaining power through electoral processes, but it faces significant criticism for alleged authoritarian practices, election irregularities, and suppression of political opposition. The economy has suffered from hyperinflation and shortages, leading to widespread hardship. Internationally, some countries recognize Maduro’s government, while others support opposition leaders or question its legitimacy. Overall, his government is often viewed as increasingly centralized and controversial, amidst ongoing economic and political crises.
