Elections in Venezuela: Maduro wants a public trial for opposition deputies

The Venezuelan president proposed a parliamentary commission to investigate “all the corruption and robbery of Juan Guaidó”, after the new Parliament is installed.

The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, proposed this Friday to try the current deputies, most of them from the opposition court, in the next Parliament that will be elected in the legislative elections on December 6, which will not be attended by the majority of anti-Chavistas for consider them a fraud.

“The new National Assembly (AN, Parliament) must immediately install a super parliamentary commission to investigate all the corruption, all the dolos, all the robbery of Juan Guaidó,” said the president during a televised meeting of the coalition of Chavista parties Gran Polo Patriotic.

“Make a public trial with evidence in hand against Juan Guaidó and against the thieves of this National Assembly,” he added.

Guaidó, who leads the opposition and one of the two directives that claim to control Parliament, is recognized as interim president of Venezuela by fifty governments, led by the United States.

From this position, the opponent pointed to the efforts of Parliament to annul the control of the Government of Nicolás Maduro in state companies outside the country, such as Citgo, a subsidiary of the state oil company PDVSA in the United States, and Monómeros, one of the largest suppliers of agrochemicals in Colombia.

But, despite this international recognition, the decisions of the Venezuelan Parliament are not respected by the other public powers in Venezuela since the end of 2016, when the body was declared in contempt by the Supreme Court.

“We are going to raise this with the people on tours of the neighborhoods,” the president continued on the proposal. “Do you agree to a public trial in the new National Assembly for the deputies who robbed the country, who betrayed the country, who took money from Citgo, from Monómeros?” He added.

Maduro also said that this initiative, which he collected from a Chavista candidate, is “a debt” that the next deputies of Parliament must pay, a body that, he estimated, will be controlled after the elections by the deputies of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela ( PSUV).

Part of the international community, like the Venezuelan opposition, has advanced that it will not recognize the results of the December 6 elections, considering the event as a farce.

In response to the elections, the opposition announced that it will hold a “popular consultation,” in which it will ask citizens if they reject the parliamentarians and approve of anti-Chavez efforts to evict Maduro from power.
