Venezuela鈥檚 President Maduro has inaugurated a new Constituent Assembly which he says is needed to bring peace after months of crisis. The opposition has boycotted the new body, saying it is a way for the president to cling to power. H茅ctor Rodr铆guez is a member of the ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV). He says the new Assembly is designed to bring about national unity - and blames global forces for Venezuela's crisis.
