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?
This week’s bizarre constitutional crisis has been many things. Here’s one we tend to overlook: it’s been a stomach-churning desecration of the resource nationalism that once defined the Venezuelan left.
Did Venezuela just stumble into an epic Constitutional Crisis out of sheer administrative incompetence and miscalculation? Very possibly. Were the Russians behind it? You bet.
South American papers pretty much all led with the self-coup in Venezuela yesterday. Here's a roundup.
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.
This is a video of regime stalwart Luisa Ortega Diaz, Venezuela's Prosecutor General. Denouncing a breakdown in the constitutional order. To sustained applause. On State Television!
We chart the shockwaves from this week's historic, dismal Supreme Tribunal rulings, as the opposition and the hemisphere try to get their bearings in the strange new reality we face after we drilled through the bottom of the last pit.

Yesterday, the Supreme Tribunal, for all intents and purposes. shut down Venezuela's National Assembly. Speaking on Cesar Miguel Rondón's radio show this morning, AD's Henry Ramos Allup gave the most cogent explanation yet of what happened.
The Supreme Tribunal of Justice basically annulled Venezuela's Legislature. Another day, another coup d'Etat.
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.
