translated from Spanish: Guaidó says Chavismo murdered the Republic by electing head of Parliament

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó reported that the country experienced this Sunday “the assassination of the Republic” by electing Chavismo to a new president of the National Assembly (AN, Parliament) in a session to which he read i they asked to enter, as well as a group of opposition MPs.
“Today, in what is the dismantling of the rule of law and the murder of the Republic we see how they violently take the Federal Legislative Palace,” Guaidó said with a choppy voice after a fight with members of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB, policeman militarized) to access the hemicycle.
This squabend began when he attempted access to the AN headquarters and was repelled by the members of the GNB. He then tried to climb a gate that gives access to the Hemicycle but the agents prevented it with the shields.
Subsequently, when the Chavist deputies and a small group of opponents, had elected as president the parliamentarian Luis Parra, former member of the Party First Justice, Guaidó tried again to enter the Legislative Palace and the members of the GNB snuck slams with their shields.
During the fray, Guaidó also struck the guards’ shields as well as several deputies.
According to the opponent, until now president of the AN, the election of the new board of the Chamber was necessary “the complicity of some pseudo-deputies”, as Parra himself, branded corrupt by much of the opposition.
However, despite the support of these parliamentarians, Guaidó assured that this Sunday’s session did not have a sufficient majority for the quorum since the Chavistas “do not have enough votes”.
“Despite this, Parliament resists. Today we rise Venezuelans to defend Venezuela,” he said.
He therefore cautioned that at this time “Venezuela does not have Parliament installed” since “there was no roll call vote, they kidnapped the parliamentarians in the Chamber”, as well as the diplomats who came to the Legislative Palace, since none of them was able to get out while the fray lasted.
Guaidó concluded by warning that “in hours” it will announce new measures but assured that everyone will “see how the National Parliament is installed.”
