And why would the CIA want to do that?

The situation was worse then the right parties were in power. It's actually a reactionary movement, instigated by the wealthier classes.

Not the CIA but their own. He wouldn't be the first

If you're bemoaning the likely fate of a right wing government being toppled by left wingers via targeted assassination, note that that method has traditionally been (mostly) the preserve of rightists, not leftists. Leftists gain power through revolution, not assassination. For rightists, it's vice versa.

Who is "he"? Are you saying the right-wingers are going to assassinate president Maduro?
And why would this election lead to this?

As for the economic problems, my impression is that indeed, Chavez and Maduro did not diversify the economy enough, made it dependent for the most part on oil sales and let the government decide so many economic things that now that the government is bankrupt due to low oil prices, it cannot even refill the supermarkets.
I don't know if the right-wingers are much better, but they seem to be more of a center-right coalition anyway.
If it were to blame only on the oil prices, why are Norway and other oil-producing countries not going bankrupt? I assume the difference is that they have a more flexible economy that does not hinge entirely on the oil price.
