A comment by Laura Campiglia
From the moment Nicolás Maduro arrived in office, rumors regarding his nationality emerged. It is believed by the opposition that President Maduro might not have been born in Venezuela, and because he is of Colombian descent (his mother is Colombian), he might possess two nationalities.
Campaigning is currently at a standstill for the Venezuelan referendum whilst both sides, the opposition and the government, push in different directions. Whereas the opposition is doing its best to have the referendum take place this year 2016, and the government is looking to push the vote to held in 2017.
A secret meeting has been held between former world leaders, Venezuelan government officials, and opposition leaders in an attempt to avoid a political standoff.
