Venezuelan Opposition Presents Plan of Action in Case Maduro Resigns

The Venezuelan opposition party Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) on Wednesday presented its plan of action if it succeeds in securing the resignation of President Nicolas Maduro, local media reported.

MEXICO (Sputnik) — Among the priorities of the opposition, Ramos noted the creation of a government of national unity, overcoming the humanitarian crisis experienced in connection with the shortage of food and medicine and the development of an economic plan for combating poverty.

"The change [of power] is unstoppable and inevitable, the bloc promises to guarantee stability," a statement by Henry Ramos, the former president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, quoted by the Nacional media outlet, read.

Venezuela has been experiencing a period of political instability amid the drastic economic situation in the country. Protests have erupted across the country as a result, with the latest breaking out in April after the country's Supreme Court tried to take over legislative powers from the opposition-controlled National Assembly. The top court reversed the ruling but the step did not stop the mass demonstrations.

In May, Maduro announced his decision to call the National Constituent Assembly, which was regarded by the opposition as an attempted coup. This resulted in an escalation of the already aggravated tensions and led to the deaths of over 90 people.
