Caracas (AFP) - Venezuela's opposition urged the international community Wednesday to prevent what it alleged was an attempt by President Nicolas Maduro to mount a "judicial coup."
In an open letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and senior international officials, the opposition Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) coalition condemned the legal threat to the super-majority it won on December 6.
"The country, the region and the world are facing a judicial coup attempt against the Venezuelan people's decision," MUD executive secretary Jesus Torrealba wrote.
"The ruling party's irresponsible behavior is pushing the entire country to the brink of disaster, which would have grave consequences for the entire region."
The letter was also addressed to European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini and senior officials of the Organization of American States, the Union of South American Nations and regional bloc MERCOSUR.
