Venezuela slid closer toward dictatorship after a Supreme Court ruling Wednesday night gutted the powers of the opposition-led legislature. Peruvian newspaper El Comercio reports that Peru and other Latin American countries have condemned Venezuela's move toward one-man rule as can be seen on this front page. Peru withdrew its ambassador to Venezuela soon after the ruling. Other countries have suggested removing Venezuela from the regional grouping Organization of American States to punish the country for rolling back democracy.
