The declaration of the "state of emergency" plus the wave of repression that took place today following opposition protests all over the country has finally shown Maduro's true colors, even to some who were considered his allies (I guess until now). And a prominent Venezuelan general recently declared also that, should the referendum take place, he would vote against Maduro. Nicolás is on his way out, and Chavismo will be buried with him, hopefully.
