National Communal Parliament Meets for First Time in Venezuela

This first session of the Parliament aims to create a legislative mechanism through which the people can govern.
President of the Venezuelan National Assembly Diosdado Cabello presided Tuesday over the first gathering of the National Communal Parliament, a legislative body aimed at strengthening the role of grassroots decision-making structures known as communal councils and communes.
Cabello explained that the goal of the National Communal Parliament is to create a space that will allow the people to have access to resources, decision-making, laws, and “will allow the people to experience their way of life.”
BULL-SHIT
This is just an attempt to try to usurp power over the national assembly that was actually elected (by a large margin, I might add) by the Venezuelan people. Such communal councils or what-have-you are not at all in the Constitution, and thereby illegal. If the Chavista regime can't accept their colossal loss and try to implement this improvised attempt to take away power from the National Assembly, then it's effectively a parliamentary coup.
I should also note that while I don't consider Telesur a credible source of news, I am merely using them in this case for the purpose of showcasing something that the Chavista government obviously wants to showcase, especially to our Chavista friends here who probably suspect that such a thing as a "communal parliament" to counterweight the actual legitimate National Assemble actually exists. This is an obvious display of Maduro and co. not wanting to recognize that they lost the Assembly fair and square and disrespecting the will of the clear majority of Venezuelans.
