VOICED : Oposicion venezolana sale de nuevo a las calles

The Venezuelan opposition protested against President Nicolás Maduro's economic emergency decree, which was rejected by the parliamentary majority. The government claims the decree would enable private sector agreements to boost production, but the opposition views it as a trap. They argue that the government cannot solve Venezuela's problems, which will worsen until a democratic change occurs. In 2015, Venezuela faced a 141% inflation rate and a 4.5% economic decline.

How did the government justify the economic emergency decree?

What did the opposition believe would happen if the current government remained in power?
