The Surprising Case of Venezuela: a Society Without a Justice System

What’s really extraordinary is that we aren’t more violent and that we solve some conflicts in a rational way, when we’re in a country where the justice system is out of reach or doesn’t work

Chavistas Design a Tailor-Made Opposition and it Suits Them Fine

It’s easier to win if you build your new enemies from the ashes of the leaders you burned, jailed after shady legal proceedings, barred from running for office or forced into exile. It’s exactly what the dictatorship’s doctors prescribed.

The Pseudo-TSJ Debacle Reveals Lack of Leadership and Strategy

The trial against Maduro by the TSJ in exile is a justice trainwreck – it’s technically not a ruling, because they are not the Supreme Tribunal. It speaks volumes about the lack of leadership and strategy within the opposition.
