Caracas. El presidente Nicolás Maduro roza este domingo el control del Parlamento en unas elecciones boicoteadas por la oposición, sin respaldo internacional y con centros de votación vacíos.

El triunfo le dará poder sobre la única institución en control de sus adversarios desde 2015, cuando rompieron 15 años de hegemonía. Sin embargo, Maduro anuló en la práctica la cámara con la Corte Suprema de línea oficialista y una todopoderosa Asamblea Constituyente, que dejará de funcionar en diciembre.
