Venezuelan opposition postpones decision on end of Juan Guaido’s “government”.

“The regular session of the Venezuelan Assembly has been postponed [eleita em 2015] proposal [hoje] December 29, following the criteria of the board of directors and representatives, the debate should be extended to seek a broad agreement for the country,” the social network announced on Twitter, on the parliamentary account.

The opposition parliament called the next session “for the next January 2, 2023”, in a decision later confirmed in 2015 by the president of the Legislative Representative Commission, Juan Quito.

“In response to the public demands of many delegates, I consider your presidency to adjourn the session in favor of Venezuela and an agreement for Venezuela, in order to protect the constitution and the necessary unity,” the opposition leader announced on Twitter.

The postponement is taking place despite the insistence by messages published on social networks of the parties that voted in the previous debate to end the “interim government” (Ação Democratica, Um Novo Tempo, Primeiro Justiça and Movimento Pela Venezuela). “This possibility has not been consulted” and “has not been put on hold”.

Many constitutionalists have warned that the opposition would violate Venezuela’s constitution if the “interim government” of Juan Guaidó ends, as the parliament elected in 2015 does not recognize early presidential elections in 2018.

According to the Constituent Assembly, the opponent Juan Quito cannot be removed from the functions he has assumed, as such a decision would lead the opposition parliament to usurp the functions.

On December 22, the Venezuelan opposition, in a session of the opposition parliament elected in 2015, only 23 of the 112 representatives approved the dissolution of Juan Guaidó’s “interim government” after voting in favor of “continuing the interim government” until January 04, 2024.

The Democratic Action, A New Time, First Justice and Movement for Venezuela parties said they won the majority of votes to end the “interim government” and that Juan Quito has not fulfilled his promises to oust Nicolas Maduro, convene a transitional government and hold free elections in the country.

The parties’ proposal foresees parliament continuing to act to keep the “ad hoc” directorates of Venezuela’s central bank and state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela active. He also defends the creation of an executive committee to “protect Venezuelan assets abroad.”

Juan Guaidó warned on Twitter that Venezuela’s “constitution” and “Article 233 is not an option or a strategy, but an obligation” that its protection must be maintained, insisting that “the people elected us for this”.

He added that removing the article “will not create any certainty and will only give a foundation to dictatorship”.

According to non-governmental organizations and international organizations, over the past five years, more than seven million Venezuelans have fled the country due to the political, economic and social crisis.
