Venezuela's main opposition parties on Sunday pledged to boycott legislative elections scheduled for Dec. 6, saying they will be rigged by the ruling socialist party and that taking part would amount to 'collaborating with the dictatorship's strategy.'

The move was widely expected after a series of recent interventions by President Nicolas Maduro’s government in the National Electoral Council and opposition political parties. The parties boycotted Maduro’s 2018 re-election on similar grounds, and now label him a usurper. “Venezuela, a nation undergoing a humanitarian crisis that is also subjected to a criminal, oppressive dictatorship, deserves free, democratic and transparent elections,” the 27 parties wrote in a statement published on the National Assembly’s website.

Venezuela’s information ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Maduro calls Guaido a U.S.-backed puppet seeking to oust him in a violent coup, and has argued the opposition boycotts elections it knows it would lose.
