VOICED : Venezuela: Oposicion augura estallido si no hay revocatorio

The transcript discusses the political tension in Venezuela, highlighting fears of social unrest and a potential coup. Opposition leaders are pushing for a referendum to revoke President Nicolás Maduro's mandate, viewing it as a solution to the country's political and economic crisis. The government, however, has declared a State of Exception and Economic Emergency, which critics see as a means to suppress protests. Legal approval from the National Assembly is required for such decrees, which has not been granted. There are also internal conflicts within the government, with some factions allegedly wanting to delay the referendum to maintain power. If the referendum occurs after January 10, 2017, and Maduro loses, the vice president would complete his term.
