The
country under the imperialist occupation again, after the results of
the elections
The
opposition has won Venezuela’s parliamentary elections, taking
control of the legislature from the governing socialists. President
Nicolas Maduro has recognized the “adverse” results of the vote.
The opposition Democratic Unity Roundtable coalition got 99 seats in
the country’s parliament, while the United Socialist Party of
Venezuela, founded by the late President Hugo Chavez, won 46 seats.
A total of
19.4 million Venezuelans were eligible to vote. The electoral
commission recorded a turnout of 74.25 percent.
It is the
first time in 15 years that anti-Chavez parties have won a majority
in the legislature, which comprises 167 deputies.
Venezuelan
President Nicolas Maduro, 53, rapidly acknowledged his party’s
defeat. “We are here, with morals and ethics, to recognize these
adverse results,” Reuters reported Maduro as saying in an
address to the nation. He blamed an “economic war” against his
government for the results.
