Senior EU lawmaker calls on Venezuela's Maduro to go, backs National Assembly
"President Maduro has lost any legitimacy to lead his country. He needs to step aside," David McAllister, a German conservative who chairs the parliament's foreign affairs committee, said in a statement.
"The national assembly as the legitimate, democratically elected institution must lead the transition towards a full restitution of democracy in Venezuela," said McAllister, who is close to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. (Reporting by Robin Emmott)
