Nicolás Maduro rejected the ultimatum of the European Union: "It's a total insolence"

"Total insolence": Nicolás Maduro called on the EU's ultimatum to call a general election because of the political and economic crisis that the Caribbean country is going through.

The President of Venezuela rejected the warning of Germany, Spain, France and the United Kingdom, among other European powers, who claimed it Saturday Call early elections within a maximum of eight days. Opposite case recognize as legitimate authority Juan Guaidó, incumbent of the National Assembly, has proclaimed himself "president in charge".

"Nobody can give us an ultimatum of this type, if someone wants to leave the country, he can do it, Venezuela is not related to Europe, it's a total insolence, "said President Chavez in an interview to the network in Caracas. CNN Turk.

"Once again, Europe is making a mistake about Venezuela. They consider our history as non-existent despite two hundred years of independence. We despise because we are in the south is insolent, "he criticized.

The National Assembly has a majority of opposition and proclaims Guaidó as interim president, invoking the Constitution and considering that the last election of Maduro at the polls is null and void.

The United States and several countries in the region have recognized Guaidó almost immediately, while the major European powers reacted with caution and Saturday with the demand that Maduro call elections.

The leader of Chavez was open to dialogue with the leader of the opposition. "We will restore peace and continue to condemn these events, as we did at the Security Council (of the UN Saturday.) All these lies are the work of the United States. I am open to dialogue ", Maduro said.

On Saturday, the European powers have clearly indicated their position to the UN Security Council, while the United States has called on all countries to take a stand in this institutional crisis. In response, Maduro broke off diplomatic relations with the United States, Venezuela's largest oil importer.

Hair: "Long bad!"

In the previous, the second strongman of Venezuela, the head of the National Constituent Assembly (ANC) in power, Diosdado Cabello rejected the ultimatum with an insult: "Go to hell, that Venezuelans and Venezuelans do not give us orders." Cabello made such strong statements Saturday in front of hundreds of Chavez supporters in the state of Cojedes, rallied to express their support.

"We, the vast majority (Venezuelans), were born rebels, we oppose any necessary measures, nature," he said. Cabello's message was directed particularly at the head of the Spanish government, Pedro Sanchez, whom he stated was not elected at the polls and was in that position "because they removed the previous president being corrupt ", referring to the late Mariano Rajoy.

The Guaidó measure is Maduro's biggest challenge, which governs since 2013, and the trigger of the growing political tension that shakes the country in the face of local and external misunderstanding of the legitimacy of its mandate.

The leader of Chavez triumphed in the elections last May, but the bulk of the opposition did not show fraud. He promised his new job a little over two weeks ago before the Supreme Court of Justice.

The opposition claims that Maduro "usurps" the presidency by qualifying his second six-year term as "illegitimate". Therefore, the executive power belongs to the Speaker of Parliament until the convening of new elections, according to the interpretation of several articles of the Magna Carta.
