The upcoming few days in Venezuela are expected to be some of the most uncertain in its recent history, not an easy feat for a country that has been engulfed in political turmoil for the better part of the 21st century. On Friday, January 10, not one but two men have voiced their intention to take office as president, both of them adamant that they won the election in July.
On one side is Nicolás Maduro, who has ruled Venezuela since 2013. Ever since, the country has gone through hyperinflation and a mass exodus, amassing accusations of crimes against humanity and links to international drug cartels in the meantime.
