OAS Chief Decries ‘Dictatorship’ After Venezuela’s Gov’t-Controlled Supreme Court Seizes Power From Parliament

(CNSNews.com) – Venezuela lurched deeper into crisis Thursday after the government-controlled supreme court stripped the elected legislature of its lawmaking powers, prompting the head of the Organization of American States (OAS) to decry a “self-inflicted coup” and describe Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s Socialist regime as a “dictatorship.”

“We have an obligation to the people of Venezuela to act without further delay,” said Luis Almagro after the court action. “To be silent in the face of a dictatorship is the lowest indignity in politics.”
