Supreme Court declared the National Assembly of Guaido null and void
According to the legal text, any public or private person who lends or gives space for it will be considered in contempt
This Tuesday, May 26, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) declared the National Assembly (AN) chaired by the deputy, Luis Parra as valid. The sentence was published in his account on the social network Facebook, in which he also stated that “the installation of a parallel or virtual parliament is prohibited.”
According to the legal text, any public or private person who provides or gives space for it will be considered in contempt and any act exercised as such will be null.
The ruling is in response to a request made by Enrique Ochoa Antich, from the Movement to Socialism (MAS) party against the National Assembly, alleging that the election of the Board of Directors, on January 5, lacked legality and was outside the scope of the constitutional framework.
“There is no action outside the framework of the constitutional and legally attributed competence of the new Board of Directors of the AN for the period 2020-2021, as well as no violation of any constitutional right by its legitimate members”, refers the judgment.
The decision also ordered to send a certified copy to the Prosecutor’s Office in relation to the actions of the deputy recognized by more than 30 countries as interim president, Juan Guaido.
