In 2021 Venezuela’s deep political and governance crisis continued without a suitable constitutional and political solution. On the contrary, it could be said the situation worsened in some respects, given the Maduro’s de facto consolidation of power and his ability to retain control of the state apparatus, despite a complex humanitarian emergency that drove about six million Venezuelans forced displaced and refugees (the second current worst migrant crisis in the world, behind the Syrian migrant crisis). Moreover, despite a decrease of inflation and reports of rising economic growth, the country remains facing sanctions from the U.S. and dozens of countries whilst refusing to engage in meaningful efforts to facilitate the return to democratic constitutional government and a commitment to the 1999 Constitution and the rule of law.
