An Interesting Accusation in Venezuela

Private Spanish Lessons in Denver

Vice President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela accused members of the opposing political party
of trying to overthrow the government of Hugo Chavez.
The opposition states that the absence of the president at the ceremony which would usher in his next presidential term on January 10th, should require that the head of the National Assembly assume
the office of President of Venezuela.
Now, dear readers, I think that this is a very interesting accusation, if we consider the following:
Both Hugo Chavez and the head of the National Assembly belong to the same political party, the United Socialist Party!
How can this be considered an overthrow of the current government?
What do you think?

    "I am elated today, having just spoken in Spanish with my first colleague from Mexico! Nina's classes give me not only the proper words, grammar and pronunciation to display conversation, but also a demeanor which would impress my new colleague. It is incredibly empowering to speak to a new partner in their native language. Without classes with Nina, I would not have the confidence or the skill to do so! Thank you Nina!"
