Shitty ass context (and crappy translation) since he's referring to the chavistas disallowing the opposition their constitutional right to merely be present in the AN.

A proper translation would be, "Today a "parliamentary coup" could be established pending the AN session."

He's obviously referring to the opposition not being allowed in the AN (which is what caused the violence to begin with).

What's interesting is how VTV clearly and unambigiously has video of the entire session yet somehow they don't show the actual uncut video. Instead they show propaganda pieces and snapshots. Why is that? Obviously they can't allow the uncut video to be shown. I hope it's archived by someone for historical purposes because when the chavistas do go down it'll be interesting to see who goes to jail first.
