Uppmanar till valbojkott i Venezuela: Lämna gatorna

The Democratic Unity Roundtable (Spanish: Mesa de la Unidad Democrática, MUD) is a catch-all electoral coalition of Venezuelan political parties formed in January 2008 to unify the opposition to President Hugo Chávez's United Socialist Party of Venezuela in the Venezuelan parliamentary election, 2010. A previous opposition umbrella group, the Coordinadora Democrática, had collapsed after the failure of the Venezuelan recall referendum, 2004. The coalition is made of primarily centrist, centre-left, and left-wing parties – such as the social democratic parties of Democratic Action and A New Era – while also including two centre-right parties. The main components are Democratic Action and Copei, the two parties who dominated Venezuelan politics from 1959 to 1999. In the 2015 parliamentary election, the coalition became the largest group in the National Assembly with 112 out of 167 (a supermajority), ending sixteen years of PSUV rule of the country's unicameral parliament. In the 2017 Venezuelan Constituent Assembly election, the MUD boycotted the election, and as the National Assembly itself lost most of its power, PSUV effectively retook its parliamentary majority.
