Opposition calls
The opposition has rejected the new measures and is pushing
for a referendum to removed Mr Maduro from power.
They began the process two weeks ago by handing in a petition
signed by 1.85m people.
But Venezuela's Vice-President Aristobulo Isturiz has ruled out
the possibility of a recall referendum against Mr Maduro.
Many Venezuelans blame Mr Maduro for the economic crisis
the country is experiencing.
Its economy contracted by 5.7% last year and is expected to
shrink further this year. Ination is at 180%, according to ocial
gures, and there are shortages of medicines and basic food
items.
