The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) has announced its support for the controversial Constituent Assembly elected last week in Venezuela under the Presidency of Nicolas Maduro.
The constituent assembly has been broadly condemned internationally as illegal and entrenching the Maduro administration. Venezuela has been ostracised in the region and further afield. A few countries have announced support for the constituent assembly including China, Bolivia and Cuba.
Critics have said that the assembly has created a dictatorship amid months of protests for Maduro to call fresh elections which has seen over 120 persons being killed.
