CARACAS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 04th February, 2019) Venezuelan government is willing to hear the opinion of the country's population on the issue of holding snap parliamentary elections, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said on Sunday.
"In order to answer your question whether elections will be held or not, we can consult with the people through the mechanism developed by the Constituent Assembly ... Of course, we call for solving all problems peacefully, by establishing dialogue and resolving issues at the electoral level," Rodriguez told journalists.
On Wednesday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro told Sputnik that he would welcome snap parliamentary elections in the country as this would be a "very good form of political discussion."
While the European Union has called for the snap presidential elections to be held in Venezuela, some of its member states, particularly, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom, said last Saturday they would recognize Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country's interim president if the new elections are not called within eight days.
