Based
on an article with the same title posted by BBC on October 26, 2016
Venezuela has reached the highest inflation rate in
the world as the oil prices has been decreasing. As a result, Venezuela is now
in the middle of social unrest especially between the United Socialist Party,
which is in the government side, and the Democratic Unity Roundtable as the
opposition. Both parties are accusing each other of the economic crisis that
occurs in Venezuela. The opposition even held a National Assembly to make
President Nicolas Maduro be out of office. However, its attempts to organize a referendum
have got plenty of bars such as postponement of the process caused by the
National Electoral Council.
Furthermore, the opposition stated that the government
has devastated the democracy in Venezuela by applying socialist policies. In return,
the government considered that the opposition was provoked by the US and had a
hidden agenda. Not only the opposition but also a lot of civilians are disappointed
with President Nicolas Maduro, who is not as capable as the late Venezuelan
president coming from the same party, Hugo Chavez. To overcome the problem, the
Vatican has accepted the proposal to become the mediator between two parties in
a meeting held on October 30 on Magarita Island.
Economic issues indeed are so sensitive in every
country in the world that they can cause social unrest and confusion. I suppose
that welfare is the most important needed by civilians. Nowadays, people seem
so sick of politic issues that they no longer pay attention to such issues as
long as they get enough welfare and satisfying lives. In other words, when
economic issues emerge, people automatically urge the government to do
something or even suppress the government’s authority for a better replacement.
