In that respect, not only political leaders but also citizens challenge every day social, political and economic problems. The stability of Venezuela has been negatively influenced by several factors, such as the internal economic policies which basically have depended on the oil reserves, the inefficient management of the country, and the social and political policies which have been aligned to the idea of the ?21st Century Socialism?. In other words, not only the price of the oil but the political goal has played a very large role in Venezuela?s crisis. The internal tensions in the government, the citizen?s discomfort, along with the uncertainty of the countries in the region create multiple threats to the long-term stability of Venezuela.

Certainly, Ch?vez's revolution and Maduro?s government left behind a legacy of repression and authoritarianism against politicians, private media and all who have opposed them. Unfortunately the crisis is seriously affecting important aspects of the society, such as health and nutrition, social security, and education. At the same time, Venezuela has become a society divided between those who identify with the government and those who identify with the opposition. Another key point, is the fact that the Venezuela? crisis is definitely having significant repercussions on the international community. In fact, some authors argue that Venezuela appears as a great threat to the stability of the whole Latin American region, impacting not only on the future of the regional organizations but also on the internal politics of the countries of the region.
