The new majority in Venezuela's parliament wasted no time showing who's now in control, using its first week in power to remove all images of the late Hugo Chávez from the National Assembly building.
Henry Ramos Allup, leader of the opposition that won control of parliament in last month's historic election, on Wednesday ordered all portraits of the longtime socialist leader to be taken down. He also ordered removing all images of Simón Bolívar, who helped liberate South America from Spanish rule and the namesake of Chávez's "Bolivarian Revolution."
Images of the two men were erected throughout Venezuela during more than a decade of Chávez's rule, their portraits looking down on people from government buildings, billboards and signs. On Wednesday, a day after the new parliament was sworn into office, videos show Ramos instructing workers to take down all those pictures that hang in the capital complex.
"Take the images to his daughters and widows," Ramos said, according to the Havana Times. "This place is no cemetery."
