The attackers were supporting Maduro against opposition demands for elections to remove him from office.


Government supporters burst into Venezuela's opposition-controlled congress on Wednesday, witnesses said, attacking lawmakers and journalists in the latest flare-up of violence during a political crisis.

Hours afterwards by late afternoon, a crowd of roughly 100 people was still besieging the building, trapping people inside, witnesses said.

Several dozen people ran past the gates with pipes, sticks and stones and went on the attack.

They injured at many opposition lawmakers who stumbled bloodied and dazed around the assembly's corridors, witnesses said.


Venezuela's opposition is demanding general elections to end socialist rule and solutions to the OPEC nation's brutal economic crisis.


The government says its foes are seeking a violent coup with U.S. support.

Can never happen here
They will buy the chief protester once they hear they are coming. That one will now change gear and start looking for peaceful resolution overnight

It can only happen in Nigeria when the poor hungry barracks zombies get their sense back. And the police too. I forgot Daura secret service. If not, politicians will use them to slaughter thousands of protesters and nothing will happen. Useless wilderness

Because in countries like this, is purely the Government vs Citizens or masses.


There's nothing like NCAN chapter or Afonja

There's nothing like Government vs yoruba, Igbo, or hausas.



When a country is so much divided, progress is far.
