Venezuelan government

The Venezuelan government is a federal presidential republic, where the President is both the head of state and government. It has a multi-party system, but in recent years, the government, led by the United Socialist Party, has faced criticism for authoritarian practices, including limiting press freedoms and political opposition. Venezuela's political situation has been marked by economic struggles, hyperinflation, and social unrest, leading to significant emigration. Key institutions include the National Assembly and the Supreme Court, but their functions have been challenged amid ongoing political conflict. The crisis has drawn international attention and responses.
