People queue outside a supermarket in Caracas on February 12, 2016. Venezuela's opposition Friday vowed speeded-up moves to oust President Nicolas Maduro after he defied lawmakers by decreeing a state of economic emergency through the crisis-hit country's high court. "In the next few days we will have to present a concrete proposal for the departure of that national disgrace that is the government," the opposition leader of congress Henry Ramos told a news conference. He criticized a ruling on Thursday by the Supreme Court which approved Maduro's request for special powers to tackle a deepening economic crisis -- his latest maneuver in a tense political standoff.
