The Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled that a decree issued by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last week declaring a state of emergency is "constitutional", the BBC reported Friday
The decree gives Maduro extra powers to deal with Venezuela's economic crisis, including the right to impose tougher security measures.
The court upheld the decree because of
what it called "the extraordinary social, economic, political, natural and ecological circumstances that are gravely affecting the national economy."
On Friday, President Maduro declared a state of emergency for 60 days, accusing the business elite of boycotting the economy and the United States of plotting a coup against his socialist government.
