A knock at the Assembly of Venezuela

Opposition and ruling party MPs have faced beatings in the National Assembly of Venezuela, when he was the second session to review the report and account for the year 2010. The government parliamentary ry Ventura tried to throw the opponent Alfonso Marquina podium when he made a request to the Chamber president, Fernando Soto Rojas.

The fact led to a brawl transmitted throughout the country through radio and television. Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro, was quick to condemn the altercation and called on the opposition to learn to "listen with patience." "We come to work in peace, as we always do, and we hope that what we will say we are not attacked as it was at this time, which pounced on the president of the Assembly," said Maduro.

"You are much given to using violence and then hide behind a speech. We come in an attitude of dialogue and respect and strive to respect," he added in comments reported by the Venezuelan newspaper El Universal. Shortly thereafter, the state radio and TV stopped broadcasting the session.

The Communication Minister Andres Izarra, justified that "opposition to violence in the AN, we were forced to leave the chain."
