Democracy, requires not only free and open elections, but also access to media to all political parties, independence between justice, electoral authorities and government. None of these conditions are accomplished by Venezuelan Government.
Moreover, the lack of transparency of last elections celebrated on the 14th of april 2013, requires strong actions from the international community to reestablish full democracy in Venezuela.
Therefore, the United States of America, should stop all commercial relations with the republic, in particular, buying their petroleum which clearly provides the financing structure of Venezuelan Dictatorship until true democracy is reestablished.
