Maduro Declares State of Emergency, Gains Extraordinary Powers in Venezuela
Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela's President, has declared a state of emergency, granting himself extraordinary powers. He cited potential attacks by Donald Trump's administration as a reason for this decision.
Maduro signed the decree on Monday, allowing him to take measures he deems necessary to protect the country's security and stability. This includes the potential for increased repression, according to analysts.
The move comes amidst ongoing tensions with the United States. Maduro has repeatedly accused Trump of plotting to overthrow his government. However, the U.S. has denied these allegations.
The state of emergency in Venezuela is set to last for 60 days, renewable upon request. Maduro's decision has been criticized by opposition leaders and human rights groups, who fear it will further consolidate his power and suppress dissent.
