Before the election, nobody was sure if Maduro would leave if he lost, because Chavistas could win elections in the past. Now it’s clear that they can’t and won’t leave…they didn’t even have a fig leaf of faked stats ready to at least save face. It is officially an unashamed dictatorship now.
How the hell does a dictator tighten their grip on power?
Is it the difference between maintaining appearances and dropping the façade? Because that’s all it could ever seem like IMO.
