This book examines the process of dismantling the democratic institutions and protections in Venezuela under the Hugo Chávez regime. The actions of the Chávez government have influenced similar processes and undemocratic manoeuvrings in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Honduras.

"El Juez Constitucional, sea que se trate de un Tribunal Constitucional especializado o de la Sala Constitucional de la Corte Suprema de un país, tiene como misión esencial el garantizar la vigencia de la Constitución, y con ello, la vigencia del Estado democrático de derecho; asegurar el derecho del pueblo a ser gobernado por sus representantes electos mediante sufragio; preservar el funcionamiento del Estado bajo el principio de la separación de poderes, y velar porque todos los órganos del Estado acaten la Constitución. Bajo ese ángulo, por tanto, es inconcebible que un Juez Constitucional pueda tener como misión la de demoler el Estado de derecho y, con ello, destruir las bases ...
"Este libro recoge algunos de los estudios que he escrito entre 2018 y 2019, donde he venido analizado, a manera de crónica constitucional sobre una Venezuela en las tinieblas, desde algunas ejecutorias de la tenebrosa Asamblea Constituyente electa en 2017, pasando por la lobreguez de un régimen tiránico colapsado, que en su proceso de extinción provocó el mayor “apagón” eléctrico (blackout) que haya ocurrido en el mundo, sumiendo a todo el país, a comienzos de marzo de 2019, en la oscuridad total por varios días; hasta el único asomo de esperanza democrática que el país tiene por delante, que es la lámpara encendida de la Asamblea Nacional. Los trabajos fueron escritos aisl...
