The Venezuelan opposition will help Washington regain control over the country's oil reserves after its success in the parliamentary elections, one of the leaders of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Angel Rodriguez, told Sputnik.

CARACAS (Sputnik) — Venezuela’s Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) opposition coalition won 99 of the 167 seats in the national parliament in its election victory on Sunday, thus defeating President Nicolas Maduro’s PSUV, which managed to secure just 46 seats.

"They will work to ensure that the US empire regains control over Venezuela's oil wealth and will seek to dismantle social programs that we have promoted, so there will be confrontation," Rodriguez said.

He added that the Venezuelan government "endured two years of economic war waged by the empire [the United States] and local bourgeoisie, and now they come with the goal of changing what we accomplished over [the last] 15 years."

Until the election upset, the socialist pro-presidential party had remained in power for 16 years, since then-President Hugo Chavez launched his leftist social movement, Bolivarian Revolution, re-nationalizing the country's oil industry. The newly formed National Assembly is set to commence work in January 2016.
