The Assembly's powers have been restored by the Court (maybe)
lol no. The sentence was just reverted, but it had just been a formality. The Assembly has been without real powers since the opposition took office in January.
Overdrammatic title. They will vote Maduro out in 2018 if the election is anything close to fair.
They have not yet held an unfair election. Not to say they won't.
That is so far from reality I can't even get snarky about it...
Yes they are so good at rigging elections that the ruling party got decimated in the legislative elections in 2015 and Chavez himself lost a constitutional refendum. Venezuela has held free elections since 1998, period, all international observers have agreed.
The vote rigging isn't what you imagine. It's not done everywhere, but in select voting centers where opposition witnesses are kicked out or barred from entering. And that's not the only way of getting more votes.
