3. It's really sad that people are celebrating the actual prostitution of my country

Today Venezuela pretty much officially becomes a dictatorship. The Supreme Court basically doesn't give a damn about what the Constitution says. It establishes clearly that a professional medical board must examine how the president is doing, and rule if he is fit enough to keep on governing or not. The only official information we have about his health is what Maduro and the government has said, of whom none are medical experts, and the news are that he's not doing well anyway. I don't know about you guys, but that doesn't sound like the president's fit enough to keep on governing. For all we know, he could be dead already, and Maduro and Cabello are only telling lies about his state, which aren't good news about his health anyway. These guys are really doing everything they can to perpetuate their stay in power. It's why Chávez went to Cuba for treatment in the first place, nobody can really know if he's dead or not in there. Instead, if he had stayed in Venezuela, it'd be much easier for everyone to know what his REAL state is. If Chávez still really is giving orders and conscious, why don't they show any evidence for it? Maybe some video footage or a recording. But alas, they have not produced anything, hence why we cannot assume their word is true.

My only question is, what will they do when it is in fact confirmed that Chávez has died?
