Venezuelan president calls for early congressional election
VTV.vn - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro calls for Congressional elections to be moved up on Wednesday, which is 2 years earlier than expected. According to the proposition of Maduro, the election will take place on April 22nd.

This is considered as an action to help United Socialist Party of Venezuela to take back the control from the opposition coalition.

According to the initial plan, the next election will be held in 2020. Meanwhile, Venezuela's opposition coalition said on Wednesday it could not participate in the presidential election on April 22nd. Venezuela is currently under many embargoes from the US and EU.
