The Venezuelan Supreme Court, of official line, declared null this Wednesday the document approved by the opposition majority Parliament to extend its term after ignoring the legislative elections in which Chavismo swept.
The Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) He was already unaware of all the acts of the National Assembly since the beginning of his mandate, when he declared her in contempt.
The Constitutional Chamber of the Court now crossed out “Irrita” any action of the camera chaired by Juan Guaidó, to “perpetuate, extend, continue or extend” the current legislative period, which ends on January 4, said a statement.
Furthermore, he declared without effect “The alleged ‘Partial Reform of the Statute that governs the Transition to Democracy to Restore the Validity of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela” “ with which the opposition said to extend its mandate, “for colliding with the Constitution.”

From Parliament, Guaidó declared himself president of Venezuela and is recognized by about 50 countries, led by the United States, which also rejected the parliamentarians of December 6 for classifying them as fraudulent.
The “continuity” would be maintained precisely “Until free, fair and verifiable presidential and parliamentary elections are held in 2021, an exceptional political event occurs in 2021, or even for an additional annual parliamentary period from January 5, 2021”, according to the text of the Legislative.
Guaidó sought to legitimize this action with a plebiscite in which – he assures – more than 6 million approved the project to extend his term.
The appeal was introduced by elected deputies of the dissident opposition to the major parties, who decided to marginalize themselves from the legislative.
The new National Assembly, now controlled by Chavismo, will be installed next January 5.
