Democratic Unity Roundtable

The Democratic Unity Roundtable (Spanish: Mesa de la Unidad Democrática, shortened MUD or Unidad) is an alliance of oppositionists to the Venezolan Maduro government. In contrary to portrayals in mass media, the MUD consists mostly of liberals who would e.g. like to legalize abortion and same-sex civil unions, thus being more leftist than the Maduro government. Out of the 16 parties represented in MUD, only 4 are right-of-center. In the Venezolan parliament, altogether only 4 of 109 MUD MPs are right-of-center.
