 Revolution and Counter-revolution in Venezuela
Vice President Diosdado Cabello, who was sworn in as president by National Assembly President William Lara after Carmona was forced to reinstate the assembly's elected members and other public officials he fired on April 12.
They sought absolute powers for themselves - an unelected gang of conspirators - while cancelling 49 decrees of the democratically elected government, suspending and arresting elected members of the National Assembly, plus 20 judges (so much for the independence of the judiciary!), 12 governors and all pro-Chávez mayors.

 Communication from the Directive of the National Assembly regarding Legislative Omissions
Within the National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, incessantly continuous and energetic attempts have been made to achieve a consensus of the majority of members in the parliament, from various political affiliations, in order to ensure that the highest level of democratic legitimacy will be represented in the Electoral Council.
The permanent designation of the heads and supplemental members of the Electoral Council by the National Assembly will definitively alter the temporary nature of these members and will guarantee true conditions of equality, trustworthiness, impartiality, transparency and efficiency of the electoral processes.
The members of the Directive of the National Assembly declare, based on the legitimate political activity taking place in the National Assembly, that the current situation cannot be interpreted as an abstention, failure, silence or inaction of the National Legislative Power in complying with its constitutional obligations.
