I can see how it would be hard to have faith in Maduro. Not to mention, a court system that bends to the whims of the president.Venezuela's Supreme Court has abandoned measures to take over the opposition-led Congress' mandate after the controversial move was branded a "coup" by critics and raised pressure on President Nicolas Maduro.
The country's top court, which has consistently sided with Maduro's administration, on Saturday also rolled back its decision to lift parliamentarians' immunity from prosecution.
The announcement came hours after Maduro had called the court to annul its initial ruling "in order to maintain institutional stability and the balance of powers".

Maduro, 54, was narrowly elected in 2013 amid widespread support for the ruling Socialist Party's welfare programmes.
But his ratings have plummeted to just over 20 percent as Venezuelans struggle with a fourth year of recession, scarcities of food and medicines and the highest inflation in the world.
Critics blame a failing socialist system, whereas the government says its enemies are waging an "economic war". The fall in oil prices since mid-2014 has exacerbated the crisis.
