The Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the eighth convocation. Elected in single mandate constituency № 163 (Saratov constituency - Saratov Oblast)
believes that the US State Department
violates the rights of the people of Venezuela, claiming that the elected
president, Nicolás Maduro, must resign from the position of the president and leave the country.
“In May last year, the people of Venezuela elected Nicolás Maduro as president of the country. People of Venezuela are the source of power, not the US State Department. The United States authorities are violating all democratic principles and international norms, telling sovereign states who should be a president and how they should live,” said Viacheslav Volodin.
