Venezuelan parliament votes to begin impeachment proceedings against Maduro

I'm sure the people voting to impeach Maduro will end up killed by his armed thugs.
 
The 21st century socialism has cause shortages of water and power outages. Hugo Chavez nationalized Electricidad de Caracas in 2006. He also nationalized the oil and banking. The state–run water company is in shambles. That is the results of socialism in action.
 
In 2015 Venezuela had 31 million people, and by June 2018, it is estimated that 2.3 million Venezuelan have left the country, which represent 7.5% of the total population. The regime data from 2017 shows death risen and birth falling. This sharp decline of population mostly happens due to war or natural disasters, which is not the case in Venezuela. In simple language, Venezuelans are living because socialism doesn’t work.
 
Venezuela oil crisis has sunk the economy and created hyperinflation, forcing more than two million Venezuelan to flee the country due to food and medicine shortages. Maduro regime involvement in money laundering and fraud is accelerating the economy meltdown. The end of the socialist troika of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua is in sight.
 
PDVSA annual oil production is the lowest in the last 70 years. Fuel shortages are taking place across the country. Venezuela largest refinery still is not back in line, and the other four are operating at 25% of their capacity. Venezuelan have to deal with regular power outages and lack of public transport.
 
On January 13, Juan Guaido, president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, was briefly detained by the secret police of Nicolas Maduro. The 13 countries of the Lima Group, condemned his detention and hold Maduro government responsible for his safety.

The National Assembly, elected by 80% of the votes in favor of the opposition, which was stripped of its power by Maduro regime, is the legitimate representative of the Venezuelan people, and should be in charge of a transitional government.
 
Maduro regime establishment of wage and price controls, decimation of the upper and middle class and redistribution of wealth to reduce inequality, has cripple the country economy, provoking the fly of 3 million people and a severe crisis due to shortages of food and medicines. The best way to solve a problem is to attack its cause, Maduro regime has to go one way or another.
 
Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan made a massive protest against Maduro illegal regime as can be seeing in videos and photos of the protest calling for freedom. Forting American countries, including the U.S., recognized the new president Juan Guaido, and the Organization of American States (OAS) has also recognized him.

In retaliation Maduro brock relations with U.S. and order its diplomats out of the country. But Trump administration said Maduro does not have legal authority to do that and the diplomats would stay. Venezuelan are in the path to freedom.

Video of the protest in Caracas:
 
Republican Senator Marco Rubio in his Twitter account warned Maduro of grave consequences if he harm any U.S. diplomat.



Marco Rubio
✔@marcorubio

U.S. diplomats in #Venezuela should present their credentials to President @jguaido. Maduro has no authority to expel anyone.

And trust me on this one, if Maduro is stupid enough to test @realdonaldtrump by harming any U.S. diplomat, the consequences would be swift & severe.

During an emergency session of the UN Security Council on 01/26/2019, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, “The time is now to support the Venezuelan people, to recognize the new democratic government led by interim President Guaido, and end this nightmare. No excuses…. But no regime has done more to sustain the nightmarish condition of the Venezuelan people than the regime in Havana. For years, Cuban security and intelligence thugs, invited into Venezuela by Maduro himself and those around him, have sustained this illegitimate rule.”

He also said, “And I want to be 100 percent clear: President Trump and I fully expect that our diplomats will continue to receive protections provided under the Vienna Convention. Do not test the United States on our resolve to protect our own people.” The ball is on Maduro court now.

Spain, Germany and England, are urging members of the European Union so support Juan Guaido.

More than 16 persons have been killed during the protest marches and over 300 persons have been detained. There is a long list of wounded and injured still to be accounted for. Over 300,000 people participated in the protest march in Caracas along. The Inter-American Commission of Human Rights asks Maduro regime to respect the freedom, life and integrity of the protesters.
 
The end of Maduro socialist regime is approaching with generals of Venezuela arm forces starting to recognizing Guaido as interim president.

Unfortunately for the Venezuelan National Assembly, it does not have the constitutional power to remove the president from office. That power lies with the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (The Supreme Court) and the National Assembly can only ratify the court's decision or veto it. Thus this is an empty gesture with no basis in Venezuelan law and it is in violation of the Constitution of Venezuela. So was Juan Guaido's public declaration that he is the interim president of Venezuela. The constitution does not give the National Assembly nor the President of the Assembly the power to do that, unless the president and the line of succession are absolutely absent, which they are not. Finally spokespersons for the opposition and the National Assembly have said they will not follow the constitution should the president be removed because they will not hold new elections within 30 consecutive days of any presidential ouster. They claim to need more time to remove and replace electoral deputies and to redistrict voter districts. In other words they cannot "fix" the new election in time if they follow the constitutional time limit. So it's one bunch of fraudsters trying to kick out and replace another bunch of fraudsters in a high stakes power game which could lead to civil war. Yup, that should fix things nicely.

Cheers.

There is a recall mechanism built into the Venezuelan constitution by Hugo Chavez (Article 72 IIRC) in order to force a new election if enough Venezuelans sign a petition saying they want a sitting president out. This recall was used to force President Hugo Chavez to hold a re-election in the mid 2000's which he won in a landslide victory. The fact that the opposition cannot gather enough signatures even in this time of extreme economic hardship speaks volumes to how truely unpopular the opposition in control of the National Assembly is to most Venezuelans. If they could use Article 72 of the Constitution they would have but they know that they wouldn't win the re-election vote, thus they opt for a coup d'etat instead of a constitutional recall.

Cheers.

Well, how many desperate Venezuelans have left, and poured as refugees into the neighboring countries? 4 million, I think? Maybe if those who were most damaged by the Maduro government had stayed, they'd have signed the petition in sufficient numbers.
 

GreatNews2night:

Yup, democracy works for those who turn up. Running away solves nothing. But with between 7 to 9 million committed Chavistas in Venezuela even the estimated 3 million of the Venezuelan diaspora might not be enough to to win the re-election vote even if they got enough people to sign up for the petition to hold it.

Cheers.

February 9, Colonel Ruben Paz Jimenez who is a military doctor, said in a video, Ninety percent of us in the armed forces are really unhappy. We are being used to keep them in power”. He urged his fellow soldiers to help allow humanitarian aid into Venezuela.

February 11, Interim President Guaidó said on Twitter that they have delivered the first shipment of humanitarian aid to the Asociación de Centros de Salud (AVESSOC) that would provide 1.7 million rations for children and 4,500 supplements for pregnant women.

Tuesday 12, Venezuelan will gather in a near future to demand Maduro's resignation, and will try to bring U.S. aid across the Colombian border. The confrontation is reaching a boiling point.
 
Maduro's disastrous economic policies and hyperinflation are ravaging the Venezuelan people.

The situation is volatile and untenable.
 
Maduro is between a rock and a hard place. O’Grady is right, remember how the Castroit regime in 1973 send Manuel ‘Barbarroja’ Piñeiro, head of the Minister of the Interior sin charge of the state security and Antonio De La Guardia, a Minister of the Interior Coronel, to ‘help’ the socialist president of Chile Salvador Allende.

Allende faced widespread public opposition and lost the military support and it launched a coup. Allende and close associates were in the palace surrounded by troops, and he was offered to leave the country in safety by the military. He agree to leave the presidential palace with his party that included his daughters who left, and he promise to follow. When the soldiers entered the room found him dead. Did he committed suicide or was killed? Neither the weapon, an AK-47 giving to him by Castro, nor the bullets were recovered.

Allende security team was headed by Antonio De La Guardia. Maduro, whose security force is headed by Cubans, could meet the same destiny. In the last three days a total of 326 soldiers have deserted and crossed over to Colombia. The good thing about this is how bad it is getting.
 
Guaido decision not to ship more oil to Cuba have opened the door for the U.S. navy to interdict oil shipments to Cuba. Already Bolton said that “those who facilitate the oil shipments that they will face problems with the US government if the shipments continue.” This could escalate to a full maritime blockade of Venezuela to bring an end to Maduro’s regime.

What makes a body plump for the US to overthrow the governments of sovereign nations. That is material support for terrorism as defined by the USA and pretty much every nation in the world.

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives" (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

That is how the CIA/US governments always work.

Supporting this kind of terrorism is incredibly evil.
 

Any EVIDENCE you wish to share?
