The police tried to prevent access to the president of the National Assembly to Parliament while Luis Parra began a session with the support of Chavismo.

With blows and shoves, the Venezuelan opposition finally managed to access the space that belonged to it on Tuesday and take possession of the Assembly stand. From there, with an accelerated “I swear!”, Juan Guaidó renewed his position as president of Parliament, with the votes of the opposition deputies, despite the fact that the military tried to prevent his entry into the enclosure and even cut the light inside the Legislative Palace to stop its inauguration. Shortly before, in the same chamber, the self-proclaimed president Luis Parra held a session without quorum, proof of the chaos that the country is experiencing.

The opposition leader, who at the head of the Legislature was declared interim president in January 2019, a position recognized by 60 countries, including Spain, vowed to fulfill “on behalf of Venezuela (...) with the duties of the president in charge” to seek a "Solution to the crisis". Once the attempts of Chavism to avoid his reelection, which since Sunday have left surprising images , the deputies sang excitedly the national anthem to celebrate the reconquest of the Assembly at the hands of opposition to the regime.

Before that, the Venezuelan police had tried to prevent access to both Guaido and the 100 deputies related to the young politician . Moments before, inside the chamber, Luis Parra, a dissident opponent who proclaimed himself president of the National Assembly last Sunday with the support of Chavismo, began a session without the quorum necessary to carry it out, which according to the rules of the Chamber , requires a minimum of 84 deputies. Shortly after, Guaido managed to enter the building and promised to hold his own parliamentary session.

The tense journey began very early. Guaidó had met early in the morning with the hundred deputies who voted for his re-election as president of the National Assembly in a parallel session, held last Sunday in the newspaper El Nacional after Parra was voted by Chavism without that the opposition could access the hemicycle .

The intention this Tuesday was to arrive all together at the Assembly to prevent some from entering and others not. Guaidó arrived at the headquarters of the Congress in a van, accompanied by several buses that transferred the deputies of the opposition bench and after traveling about five kilometers through the center of Caracas bypassing police pickets. National Guard troops prevented him from crossing the east flank of the building. "This is not a barracks!" He shouted at the Guaidó military, up to the shoulders of some parliamentarians, before pushing past another entrance.

While the police blocked access, Luis Parra started the session. Inside were the Chavista bench and dissenting opposition deputies. All of them held an accelerated session without enough deputies, and more testimonial than real, in which the shortage of gasoline and the release of political prisoners were addressed. Parra says that his election is legitimate and that he has the support of 81 deputies of the 167 members of Parliament. An election that was held freehand on Sunday without anyone counting the votes and without sufficient assistance from deputies.

Only at the moment in which Parra ended the session, Guaidó and his supporters managed to enter the Assembly. After Guaidó sang the Venezuelan national anthem with his supporters, Congress went dark in an electrical cut. The deputies illuminated the premises with the lights of their mobile phones. When Guaidó left Parliament, members of the so-called collectives - prochavista groups accused by the opposition of being the "armed arm" of the Government of Nicolás Maduro - threw a tear gas grenade at him. The opposition leader was unharmed, France Presse said.

Chavismo play.

Chavismo tries to leave the opposition without its most effective political recourse, the control of the National Assembly, which won in the 2015 elections. The unicameral parliament is composed of 167 deputies, 112 of them from the opposition, who have tried to bribe or intimidate to change the meaning of your vote, in some cases successfully.

The play, however, has been denounced by the international community, which rejects a legitimacy of Parra and his desperate attempts to snatch the Legislature from opposition control, despite not having sufficient support.

The United States, the European Union and regional allies such as Colombia or Brazil renewed their support for Guaidó. Washington warned Tuesday that it will take action if there is an escalation of the crisis in Venezuela or if Guaidó is stopped by forces loyal to Maduro.

For its part, the Bolivarian leader, who has the support of Cuba, China and Russia, mainly, argues that on Sunday Guaidó did not want to enter the Assembly because he does not have enough votes. Although the images of Guaidó trying to jump the fence to access the Assembly went around the world, Maduro insisted that “if one has to face a situation, he faces, but he did not want to face,” he said during a sporting event accompanied by the Minister of Defense, Vladimir Padrino. According to the president, the deputies withdrew their support for Guadió, whom he described as "a very corrupt being."

TWITTER SUSPENDS SEVERAL ACCOUNTS OF MADURO'S ENVIRONMENT.

On Tuesday the social network Twitter suspended a dozen accounts of both institutions and members linked to the government of Nicolás Maduro. Among the suspended accounts are those of the Central Bank of Venezuela, the Armed Forces, the press of the Maduro presidency or the Ministry of Finance. The social network did not indicate the reasons and it only appears the legend "suspended account" when you click on them.

Among the blocked accounts are also those of Venezuelan Aviation or those of some members of his cabinet such as Freddy Bernal or Victor Clark.

The Twitter rules indicate that there are three reasons for closing accounts. Spam or if there is suspicion of hacking or that its ownership was violated. And the third, for tweets or behaviors that break certain rules. These are the cases in which an account exhibits abusive behavior or the sending of threats.
