Self-declared interim president of Venezuela Juan Guaido speaks during a press conference on the steps of the National Assembly in Caracas, Venezuela, on Monday
POLITICIANS in Venezuela’s US-backed National Assembly said yesterday that they plan to hold elections as soon as possible once the democratically elected president, Nicolas Maduro, is toppled.
However, Constituent Assembly President Diosdado Cabello fired back yesterday, threatening to hold early legislative elections that could unseat the right-wing opposition from the defunct National Assembly.
“We won’t skip a beat,” Mr Cabello said. “We have no doubt that imperialism governs the Venezuelan right wing.”
