Socialist Nicolas Maduro, after winning the controversial election late last year, officially began his second term as president of Venezuela today. Being that the country is in the middle of economic and social collapse, and emigration has reached unprecedented levels, his reelection is thought to be a illegitimate; since taking office in 2013, he has delegitimized political opposition and seized control of many political institutions. Going forward, Maduro will face pressure and opposition from the U.S. and its allies likely in the form of more sanctions and rhetoric.
