What happened in my city today?
Today is a national holiday in my country. On this day 206 years ago Venezuela became free from (or, 'independent of') Spain. On that day we signed the Declaration of Independence. Recently the goverment just used this day in order to make a political broadcast on a national TV channel (the same transmission is shown on all the national channels). The goverment want to hold an election on 30/07/17.This election is not universal, as is established in our constitution (?try again as I don't understand this).
The opposition don´t want this election, because they say it goes against the constitution. The opposition will make a pleiscite (??) on 16/07/17. They want to hold this election to ask the people if they want or not the other election.
That election (30...) is not a true election. This election will allow the government to change the constitution, to transform the state and to create a new legal system. But the government didn´t ask to the people if they want or not the ANC (Assembly National Constituent).
Also today there was an invasion of the Parliament. A group of violent people (protesters) got into the Parliament and attacked to the opposition (because the majority of the Parlamient is controlled by the opposition). The group caused wounds in some members of Parliament to be hurt. The goverment wants to stay in the power forever. It wants to establish a constitutional dictatorship.
