Ludji svakako jeste, i verovatno, zajedno sa Diosdadom Kabeljom, umesan u svakakve grozne stvari. Moguce je da pribegnu vanrednom stanju ili necem slicnom. Ili da koristi siroka ustavna ovascenja i vlada potpuno mimo Parlamenta.

 

No, vaznije je da se srusi mit o nepobedivosti i legitimnosti te autoritarne, korumpirane i nesposobne vlasti.

 

 

Slazem se. Pretpostavio sam da imas bolji uvid u to s obzirom da si tamo "dole" izlozeniji informacijama.

Venezuela's Opposition Smells a Victory

 

By almost any objective measure, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is heading for a fall. The country’s economy is a shambles; even Bolivia, long South America's poorest nation, is outperforming Venezuela. Some 89 percent of Venezuelans say the country is faring badly or horribly. And with the Dec. 6 legislative elections approaching, candidates for the ruling United Socialist Party are trailing by 25 to 30 percentage points, according to a batch of opinion polls. 

 

What that means for Venezuela as a whole is less clear. The country's opposition is a 27-party pastiche, riven by feuding and one-upmanship. That's one reason 30 percent of voters say they like neither the ruling party nor the Democratic Unity Roundtable, the main opposition bloc. But while there's little love lost for Maduro, 58 percent of Venezuelans still have a soft spot for his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, the charismatic founder of the Bolivarian revolution whose death from cancer in 2013 threw the country into despair.

 

This paradox poses some special challenges for Venezuela's aspiring democrats. First, they must win a contest in which the rules are stacked against them: In 2010, opposition candidates captured more than half the popular vote but -- thanks to gerrymandering, rules-rigging and overrepresentation of pro-government rural regions -- ended up with around 40 percent of the seats in the National Assembly.

 

This time may be different, however. Yes, Maduro has vetoed independent election observers and vowed he'll never surrender the revolution to apostates. But from a government bleeding popularity and poisoned by intrigue and rivalries, that sounds more like Bolivarian blunderbuss than a credible threat.

 

Latin America is no longer a club of autocrats, as Venezuelan economist and blogger Juan Cristobal Nagel has aptly noted. Think Chile circa 1988, when a plebiscite sent longtime dictator Augusto Pinochet packing, or Peru in 2000, when Alberto Fujimori was hounded out of office after attempting to steal an election.

 

Despite the lopsided playing field, challengers to Venezuela’s 16-year experiment in "21st-century socialism" have never been so close to gaining real power. Political analysts say their magic number is 18 percent -- the margin they need in order to win two-thirds of the seats in the National Assembly and have enough to change Venezuela's constitution, Francisco Rodriguez, chief Andean economist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said last week in New York.

 

But even a 12-percent margin, he said, would hand Maduro's foes three-fifths of the 167-member chamber, enough to grant -- or deny -- the president the power to rule by decree in an emergency.

 

And even a simple majority of 84 seats would give opposition lawmakers plenty of clout to push for a recall referendum next year, which could mark the beginning of the end of Maduro's hapless regime and, possibly, of Chavismo as well.

 

So how will they react if voters give them the nod? Granted, the National Assembly has not really been in charge since the days of Chavez. Lawmakers can veto the national budget, but Venezuela’s central bank still answers to the president, opposition leader Diego Arria told me.

 

A revived legislature could still be a force for restoring democracy. For one, lawmakers could raise a stink about the plight of political prisoners, including opposition firebrand Leopoldo Lopez, who was sentenced to more than 13 years in jail in what was widely regarded as little more than a show trial.

 

Rescuing the economy will be harder. Venezuela's gross domestic product is set to shrink 10 percent this year, and inflation will hit 159 percent.  That's a toxic legacy for anyone to inherit, and consumers who have faced epic queues to buy eggs and medicine may not be placated by the presence of new management in the congress.

 

"All candidates know the country needs to introduce austerity measures to right the economy. But no one wants to be blamed for implementing them," said Javier Corrales, a Latin America scholar at Amherst College. "They're not thinking beyond December 6."

 

The good news is that for the first time in a generation, what Venezuela's opposition leaders have to say actually matters. Now they must think not just about how to take back a country in ruins, but also how to govern it.

Oko Bolivije, "outperforming" verovatno znaci veci rast GDPa.

No, to nije dobra mera za porededjenje:

- bas zato sto je Bolivija siromasnija, logicno je da ima veci rast GDPa nego Venecuela, i to je slucaj vise od zadnjih pet godina a ne samo u vreme Madura;

- Bolivija danas raste brze od gotovo svih latinamoerickih zemalja, a nemaju sve debile za predsednike.

Morales ima sposobnog ministra finansija koji za razliku od Ekvadora i Venecuele nije skrckao rentu zaradjenu u vreme visokih cena sirovina vec je stedeo. Zbog toga je u godinama buma Bolivija imala nesto nize stope rasta od Ekvadora, ali sada kada je Ekvador u recesiji i smanjuje budzet za narednu godinu za 20%, Bolivija i dalje raste,

Ovo je najveci ali ne i jedini incident.

 

Moja procena je da Kabeljo hoce da isprovocira nasilje kako bi imao pokrice da suspenduje parlamentarne izbore na kojima ce da pukne.

Songs of praise: Turkmenistan president's hymn sets new record

A choir of 4,166 people in isolated ex-Soviet Turkmenistan has broken a world record by singing a hymn penned by the nation's strongman president, in the latest choreographed show of support.

 

The rendition of 'Forward, only forward, my dear country Turkmenistan' by President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov entered the Guinness Book of Records for most people singing in the round, a Guinness employee told AFP by email on Monday.

 

"I was witness to a huge surge of patriotism as Turkmen citizens performed in a single breath the song of the head of state," Seyda Subasi, an adjudicator of Guinness World Records, told Turkmen state television after last week's performance.

 

The performance featured a big-screen video of Berdymukhamedov playing a synthesiser and singing along with his people.

 

The song was performed inside a giant yurt -- a traditional nomadic tent dwelling in Central Asia -- which measured 35 metres in height and 70 metres in diameter.

 

Singing in the round is when performers sing the same piece but start at different times so that the music overlaps.

 

The previous holder of the record was tech firm Google, whose 3,798 company employees sang pop musician Pharell's song 'Happy' in the Irish capital Dublin in September.

 

The record-busting is not the first by Turkmenistan, which has claimed a number of unusual titles in recent years.

 

After coming to power in 2006 following the death of Saparmurat Niyazov, 'the Father of the Turkmen', Berdymukhamedov set about reducing signs of his predecessor's bizarre cult of personality and creating space for his own.

 

In May this year the government unveiled a golden-leaf statue of Berdymukhamedov on horseback in downtown Ashgabat, echoing a similar effigy to Niyazov that once rotated to follow the sun's movements in central Ashgabat but has since been relocated to the suburbs.

 

In August the country published Berdymukhamedov's 'Forward only forward' poem, later converted into a hymn.

Mauritanian president accused of ordering penalties in 63rd minute of Super Cup

• Mauritanian federation issues denial after match goes to early shoot-out
• Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz reportedly grew impatient with game’s tempo

The Mauritanian federation has been forced to deny that the country’s president, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, ordered a penalty shootout in the 63rd minute of the Super Cup final out of boredom.

Abdel Aziz was in attendance to watch the final between FC Tevragh-Zeina and ACS Ksar last weekend which was abruptly called to a halt with the score level at 1-1, to the astonishment of the rest of the crowd, before the referee signalled for a shootout.

The decision has provoked outrage in Mauritania amid accusations that Abdel Aziz had become impatient with the slow tempo of the match, eventually won by Tevragh Zeina.

But the Mauritanian federation’s president, Ahmed Ould Abderrahmane, wrote in a statement: “I deny in the strongest terms the intervention of the President of the Republic. The decision was made due ​​to organisational issues in accordance with the presidents and the coaches of the two teams.”
