Discussion：Venezuela protests

Tens of thousands of women took to the streets of Caracas and other Venezuelan cities over the weekend to speak out against President Nicolas Maduro, and call for peace in the crisis-hit nation. According to Venezuela's state prosecutor's office, clashes between Maduro supporters and the country's opposition party have claimed at least 37 lives. More than 700 have been injured and hundreds arrested in the widespread unrest. The opposition party has demanded that Maduro step down. The protests began in early April against Maduro, who wants to create a new constitution. The opposition party says he wants to avoid a popular vote through fraudulent means. The opposition, which has majority support in Venezuela after years of being in the shadow of the ruling Socialist Party, is demanding that delayed state elections be held and the 2018 presidential vote be brought forward. Venezuela's four-year economic recession has caused shortages of food and medicine and polls suggest Maduro's party will have difficulty winning another presidential election. Maduro says opponents are seeking a coup with US support. The 54-year-old successor to Hugo Chavez is setting up a super-body known as a "constituent assembly" with powers to rewrite the constitution, shake up public powers, and potentially replace the legislature. But Maduro insists he's open for dialogue with his opponents and is willing to end the violence. What can be done to end the violence and reinvigorate Venezuela's economy?
