President Nicolas Maduro claims that violent soap operas are the cause of increased crime in the country. It is unclear if the government will take any action on restricting the violence being put on T.V. The government is receiving heavy pressure to do something about the increased crime rate. Government leaders will meet with T.V. producers in the near future to discuss what can and cannot be shown on T.V.
I am surprised that the president thinks soap operas could be the cause of increased crime. I understand his viewpoints, but it seems unlikely that "Spider Man" caused crime rates to increase. I am glad on the other hand that the government is trying to find ways to cut down on crime. A country with low crime rates is a happy country.
This issue is very important to political life. The shows being shown on T.V. are loved by many people throughout the country and banning the shows would most likely cause an uproar. It's also important that the government end the increased crime spree throughout the country, The people trust the government if they aren't being protected by the government.
