President Nicolas Maduro has urged Venezuelans not to underestimate the menace posed by National Assembly leader Henry Ramos Allup.

Threats from the Venezuelan right to remove the president and overhaul the constitution have become an everyday occurrence since they won parliamentary elections in December last year.

But President Nicolas Maduro has urged Venezuelans not to underestimate the menace posed by National Assembly leader, Henry Ramos Allup, against the country.

“We cannot forget the threats that we have received, we cannot underestimate them. I call on the people of Venezuela to not underestimate the threats that Ramos Allup has made today against the homeland and the Republic,” Maduro said on Friday.

“The people must be ready, the people must be mobilized, before the threats that he has made against the constitution and against the people.”

Maduro said that the Venezuelan right premeditatively calculates its attacks against democracy, as they did before in the violent protests of 2014, which left 43 dead.

But the president added that the revolutionary forces of Venezuela have morale high enough to face further rightwing attacks.

“We are ready for the battle, there’s sufficient moral to face this group of murderers and stateless people,” he said.

Earlier that day, Ramos Allup declared that Maduro would be removed from office within six months, due to an “unstoppable” force.

"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.
