Venezuela's opposition blocked streets in Caracas on Tuesday to denounce a decision by unpopular leftist President Nicolas Maduro to create a new super-body known as a "constituent assembly," a move critics say is a veiled attempt to cling to power by avoiding elections, APA reports quoting Reuters.
After a month of near-daily protests by opponents demanding early general elections, Maduro announced on Monday he planned to set up a new popular assembly with the ability to rewrite the constitution.
The government says the opposition is promoting street violence and refusing dialogue, so it has no choice but to shake up Venezuela's power structure.
