Abstract
The following article aims to analyse the current situation in Venezuela, identifying some helpful information written by academics on this topic.

Furthermore, after analysing them, it will draw some arguments explaining why Venezuela has not made a U-turn into democracy yet, to end with a conclusion.
Key Words: illiberal Democracy, electoral democracy, Venezuela.
