Critics lambasted the move as a “coup” while protesters blocked roads, unfurled banners and chanted slogans against President Nicolas Maduro’s increasingly unpopular government.

The court´s move tightened socialist President Nicolas Maduro´s grip on power after more than a year in which he was locked in a political struggle with the centre-right opposition. Opposition leaders dismissed the reversal as too little too late.
