Maduro: The National Assembly no longer exists!

Translated from Spanish

Caracas, November 28 (EFE) .- President Nicolás Maduro affirmed on Tuesday that the National Assembly "is an unburied corpse", and assured that this House of opposition majority "does not need" and "does not exist" thanks to "we have the National Constituent Assembly ".

"The oligarchy adeca (from the Democratic Action party, hegemonic during bipartisan democracy) rancid destroyed the Venezuelan Parliament Destroyed, that does not exist, thank God," said the head of state during an act with the new leadership of state oil company PDVSA .

Among the cheers of the workers of the oil company, Maduro also affirmed that "thanks to the people we have a National Constituent Assembly and the National Adeca bourgeois Assembly is not necessary, it does not exist".

The Constituent Assembly was established in August this year by the ruling party without the prior referendum demanded by the opposition and civil society, and has full executive powers since then, despite the fact that the Magna Carta only assigns the power to draft a new constitutional text to this kind of together.

Why again is he wanting to meet with the opposition, in the Dominican Republic, for "dialogue"? Maybe its because nobody will refinance his debt without the approval of the National Assembly that he says no longer exists?
