The Signatures to request the launch of a recall procedure are in CNE's hands. It's a funny sort of democracy where you have to stalk around a warehouse in the dead of night to exercise a basic constitutional right, wouldn't you say?

As air-conditioners shut down, we get a firsthand account of Maracaibo: a city on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
