CARACAS (Sputnik) — On Sunday, Venezuela held election of members of the Constituent Assembly, a new legislative body with the power to amend the constitution. The election was held amid mass protests in the country that have resulted in numerous deaths.
"Now we will see an absolute power in the hands of minority… There will be no separation of powers, which is the only guarantee of control over the administration," Ortega said on Monday.
The official added that the country faced "dictatorial ambitions."
A number of Venezuela's internal political groups, as well as foreign countries, such as Argentina, Italy and the United States, have refused to recognize the results of the Sunday vote.
