The Venezuelan right wing sang the same old tune again Friday, saying that President Nicolas Maduro will be removed from office within six months. National Assembly President Henry Ramos Allup said that the government had recently committed a "self-coup."

On the second anniversary of the violent protests incited by right-wing politician Leopoldo Lopez to destabilize the government, National Assembly President Henry Ramos Allup said that “change is unstoppable because this government is going through a terminal crisis.”

He added that the six-month time frame to oust the president set out by the opposition when they took control of parliament in January was not realistic.

“Today, no one doubts that that lapse of six months is too long,” he said.

The announcement came a day after Venezuela’s top court declared that a decree giving Maduro powers to face the economic crisis was underway, in spite of opposition from the right-controlled National Assembly.

According to Allup, the move amounted to a “self-coup.”

Earlier this week, Allup posted on Twitter that he did not believe the removal of Maduro needed to be constitutional, or even peaceful.

“Government has said that only a constitutional, peaceful and electoral exit that accepts it is revocatory. Others say that there are better solutions,” he wrote.
