Deploying the same tactics as their colonial masters in Cuba, the socialist Maduro dictatorship on Wednesday sent armed militia to attack opposition lawmakers trying to reach the National Assembly.
Armed civilians attacked a convoy of vehicles carrying Venezuelan opposition politicians to congress on Wednesday, backing recent efforts under President Nicolas Maduro to bar opposition leader Juan Guaido from presiding over parliament.
A crowd of men hit the cars with traffic cones and crowbars, breaking one car’s back window, according to a video recorded by an opposition member from inside the vehicle. The convoy then sped away, tailed by several individuals on motorbikes.
