The country’s opposition, headed by self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaido, won a majority in the National Assembly in the 2015 vote. The next congressional elections are currently scheduled for late 2020.
Legitimate president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro proposed on Monday early elections for the National Assembly, Reuters reported.
Earlier in April Guaido made an attempt to depose Maduro, staging a demonstration in front of La Carlota military base in Caracas. However, the attempt has “failed completely,” as the Venezuelan government has put it.
