CARACAS, July 2, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Venezuela’s National Electoral Council on Wednesday called parliamentary elections for December 6, with the opposition already vowing to boycott.
The National Assembly parliament is the only government branch controlled by the opposition. But it has been left powerless since 2017 when the Supreme Court, which is controlled by the government of President Nicolas Maduro, declared it in contempt and has since annulled its every decision.
