It is equally silly to argue that Maduro’s actions must be legitimate because he came to power through an election. A democratically elected leader retains legitimacy only to the extent that he or she behaves democratically once in office.
认为马杜罗的行动必然是合法的，因为他是通过选举掌权的，这一观点也同样大错特错。民主选出的领袖只有在其执政后民主地治国才具有合法性。
