The head of the Organization of American States on Tuesday called on members of the Washington-based group to suspend Venezuela, citing the nation’s continued political crisis and failure to hold elections.
In a 75-page report, Luis Almagro said attempts at diplomacy in Venezuela “had not produced any progress,” and that President Nicolás Maduro should hold general elections “as soon as possible.”
The socialist administration shut down opposition efforts to hold a presidential recall, and has refused to call regional elections, which should have taken place last year. Venezuela’s next scheduled presidential election will be December 2018.
“Multiple attempts at dialogue have failed and the citizens of Venezuela have lost even more faith in their government and the democratic process,” Almagro said. “The absence of dialogue is the first sign of a failed political system.”

Won't be surprised if any UI's here are gonna call Almagro a tool of US imperialism despite the fact that Maduro and his administration have descended into authoritarian territory and are trying to eliminate the last vestiges of democracy left in Venezuela.
