Imagine what he can do in his second term?

AFP reports:

Venezuelans, reeling under a devastating economic crisis, began voting Sunday in an election boycotted by the opposition and condemned by much of the international community but expected to hand deeply unpopular President Nicolas Maduro a new mandate.

Maduro, the political heir to the late leftist firebrand Hugo Chavez, has presided over an implosion of once wealthy oil producer Venezuela’s economy since taking office in 2013.

Hyperinflation, food and medicine shortages, rising crime and broken water, power and transportation networks have sparked violent unrest, and left Maduro with a 75-percent disapproval rating.

If that is what he managed with socialism in his first term, imagine what he can do in his second!

He got 68% of the vote with a 48% turnout.

Venezuela is now in the fifth year of a recession. Maybe they’ll manage a decade.
