Yesterday Venezuelan Parliament voted for impeachment of President Nicolas Maduro. Coalition of opposition parties so called Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) accuses Maduro of infringement of constitutional law and numerous undemocratic activities. In a response Venezuelan President accused opposition of the coup d’état attempt. Julio Borges, leader of the party Primero Justicia informed that National Assembly of Venezuela expects Maduro to turn up at a session on November 1, 2016 and give a proper explanation due to his unjust conduct.

Nicolas Maduro was elected for a president in April 2013 for the period of six years. However, opposition demands to remove him from power at the beginning of 2017. Nevertheless, impeachment process is not possible as long as it will not be accepted by the legislative body which is in the hands of presidential government. Desperate opposition appealed to society to strike.

A turmoil in the government deepened after the President supporters barged into the chamber building during the Sunday legislative session by force and caused a huge confusion.
