Maduro proposes early elections

Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has proposed Saturday to hold early parliamentary elections this year.

Maduro said in a speech to faithful that the almighty Constituent Assembly, all carefully selected vassals, will discuss his proposal in the coming days and make a decision. Normally the Venezuelans would only go to the polls in 2020 to choose a new National Assembly. The sitting people's representation was sidelined by Maduro.
