I didn't know about this, so I need to know more about it. Any help out there?
I think it was in 2016 that the non-Chavez/Maduro opposition got a majority in their legislature but it has become a powerless body. The regime has full control over the judiciary and they, at first tried to invalidate the elections but that caused enough internal & external protest to force the government to back off.
Then Maduro called for elections to an 'alternative' legislature that was exclusively for candidates of his own partisans. The election was widely viewed as a complete scam but he is able to use it for the legal cover typical of such Potemkin operations. With the exception of Cuba, Venezuela is the most condemned government by the OAS.
Note the blatant disregard and memory hole characterization of Venezuela by its famous Hollywood and LEFTist friends from former years. Their poster child of Socialism has become the new poster child of what happens when Socialism succeeds!
