Venezuela President was going to sue the country's parliament, which is under the control of his opponents

Venezuela President Nicholas Maduro announced his intention to start a trial against the leadership of the National Assembly of the country (parliament), which is under the control of the political opponents of the head of state.

“We will go to court, and I think and even ask about it in advance, so that it is an open process and that Venezuela can follow it on national television, can see evidence of a huge inevitable damage that these people want to cause peace in the republic,” the official website of the pro -government PSUV pro -government party quoted ( RIA Novosti ).

Maduro accuses the parliament of usurpation of power and the betrayal of the homeland. The basis for this was the call of the head of the Parliament Enri Ramos to the intervention of foreign states in a situation in Venezuela. This statement was made by him on May 24 on the air of the Globovision channel, then Ramos said that he intended to speak at the UN with a call to intervene in the situation in the country.

Maduro called this call to the parliament of powers that relate exclusively to the president. “What Ramos did is a crime,” Maduro emphasized.

Last Monday, the Venezuela Supreme Court recognized the Uzurpation of the authorities of the National Assembly, which adopted the law on the fight against the national health crisis. An appeal to the international community for help in resolving a crisis in healthcare requires personal intervention of the president of the country, which was not there, which means that the decision of the parliament violates the Constitution, decided the court, recognizing that the parliament was invaded by the competence of the head of state.

Maduro demanded 20 years of prison for participants in riots in Kuman

The President also demanded to sentenced to 20 years in prison participants in the riots that occurred in the city of Kuman Sucher. The other day, folk unrest that flashed in the city against the backdrop of an acute lack of food, outgrew into the robberies of stores and collisions with security forces.

Maduro believes that representatives of the right -wing -looking political forces are involved in the incident. “They are exposed and pleaded guilty, members of the ultra -right parties who wanted to set fire to Venezuela as a whole,” the Globovision channel website quotes the head of state.

One of them was shot dead during the riots on Tuesday, June 13, three more were shot dead last week, Reuters reported. In connection with these cases, a soldier and a policeman were detained.

The riots in the kuman have not been the first in the last weeks.
