Venezuela: Mud ramps up plans to topple Maduro with new government

VENEZUELA’S opposition, emboldened by US support, declared “zero hour” in its bid to topple the democratically elected socialist government on Monday.

Leaders of the Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition gathered for the announcement of their takeover plan a day after their unauthorised referendum seeking a mandate for regime change.

National Assembly vice-president and Popular Will (VP) acting leader Freddy Guevara said the Mud-controlled parliament would announce the results of the “plebiscite” yesterday.
