We are victims of a continued coup, a model of permanent destabilization that does not stop a second, warned the president from the Polyhedron of Caracas, venue of the meeting.
After establishing in the Assembly, the first step of the rightwing within its strategy of soft coup will be to repeal the laws of the people and social victories, he said.
According to Maduro, the responses of the leftwing forces on back to front at polls should be the general debate and the forging of new bases to maintain the Bolivarian project, begun 17 years ago by President Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013.
We have to review, rethink all and renew the revolutionary policy given the new circumstances, the top PSUV leader stressed.

The Democratic Unity Board (MUD) opposition alliance won on Sunday, Dec. 6, 112 of 167 seats in the National Assembly, while the PSUV and its allies in the Great Patriotic Pole won 55.
