Venezuela's Supreme Court has decided that all actions made by the opposition MUD coalition, which currently holds a majority in the country's National Assembly, will be void until three banned lawmakers are removed from office.
In a symbolic gesture that they intend to move away from the socialist policies that have typified Venezuela for the last 17 years, the incoming opposition party removed portraits of former President Hugo Chavez as well as Liberator of the Spanish Americas Simon Bolivar.
The new opposition speaker of the Venezuela’s National Assembly, Henry Ramos Allup, announce on Dec. 5 that his party would soon take measures to force Socialist President Nicolas Maduro out of office.
