MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, the opposition-dominated National assembly voted in favor of beginning impeachment proceedings.
"There has never been a parliamentary coup in Venezuela, and we shall not allow anything like this to happen, the right-wing here and there should know this," Maduro said, as quoted by the NTN24 television channel.
He called for a meeting of the country’s defense committee on Wednesday to discuss the events.
