    Maduro declared an “usurper” by Venezuela's freely elected National Assembly

    The National Assembly will request governments instruct regulatory agencies to “prohibit any movement of liquid assets by the Venezuelan state in local banks”

    Venezuela's opposition-run congress on Tuesday formally declared President Nicolas Maduro a “usurper” whose actions would be considered null and void, after he was sworn in last week for a disputed second term. Maduro was inaugurated on Jan. 10 under an avalanche of criticism that his leadership was illegitimate following a 2018 election widely viewed as fraudulent.
