Twenty countries called for an emergency session today. Bolivia cancelled it. Argentina's Foreign Minister flew all the way from Buenos Aires. Honduras has been named temporary president. Madness, I tell you, madness!
El nuevo presidente ecuatoriano deberá gobernar un país en donde la mitad de su población cuestiona su legitimidad, con una compleja situación económica y entre profundo escepticismo hacia la autoridad electoral. Esto ya ha pasado antes, ¿Verdad?
Ecuador's new president will govern a country where over half of the population questions his legitimacy, amidst a complex economic situation and skepticism over the CNE's impartiality. Sound familiar?

Venezuela doesn’t have any serious legal problems, other than the fact that it doesn’t have an executive branch, doesn’t have a legislative branch, and doesn’t have a judicial branch.
Bloomberg tracked down Michael Hudson, Maduro's new favourite economist. Turns out he's not quite as enamoured of Maduro as Maduro is of him.
Multilateral diplomacy is the only way to go to ensure that Maduro releases all political prisoners, allows elections, accepts appropriate humanitarian aid, and re-establishes the independence of all branches of government.

The Organization of American States holds its first of two sessions on Venezuela this week and we're streaming. Daytime drinking games always encouraged.
We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
