The Ironies of the Venezuelan Opposition, part 21 - pre-planned violence in the National Assembly

30. please explain

how it is illegal for the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela to not allow a member to speak?

Before he did this, Diosdado Cabello asked the member for clarification: Do you accept Nicolas Maduro as the elected President, yes or no?

When the answer was negative, he decided to not allow further disruptions by the member. I believe it is the legal task of the president of any parliament to maintain order and prevent members from engaging in illegal acts. Please demonstrate how it is not.

I find it hilarious that you would compare a margin of 537 votes (in a chaotic electoral system and against a majority of the popular vote) with a margin of more than 220,000. It was fair in 2000 to speculate that a recount would deliver a different outcome. Now, in Venezuela even the opposition knows (and demonstrates by not participating in the audit) that a manual recount will not result in a different outcome. If you publicly call Maduro "the Illegitimate", it means that you don't respect the democratic process. I don't think the president of a democratic parliament has to tolerate this.
