Isaías Rodríguez: I have a fear the prosecutor has fallen into the anti-revolutionary nets


“I have a fear that Luisa (Ortega Díaz) has fallen into the nets of the anti-revolutionaries,” said the member of the Presidential Commission for the National Constituent Assembly (ANC), Isaías Rodríguez, during his participation in the “Con Amorin” (With Amorín)  program, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión.

He expressed his disagreement with the statement of Attorney General Luisa Ortega Díaz, in which she asserted that there was a rupture of the constitutional order. Rodríguez said: “You cannot talk about breaking the constitutional thread when there is an Assembly that is still there, that was not dissolved”.

He said that he is concerned about the Office of the Prosecutor as an agency because, in his opinion: “It is very difficult to disassociate from an institution that has served you to grow personally and to help grow a process that has been the aspiration of your entire life” .

“I am concerned about the Prosecution for several things, there are two internal currents: an institutional one,  and another (part of an) anti-revolutionary process, with an absolutely anti-revolutionary and conservative conception of law that they seek to base on legal norms”, he said.

Regarding the Constituent Assembly, he affirmed: “The original power is more than just the constituent power; The constituent power is one of the functions of the original power, among them can be to build peace, to solve the problems of integration or those that have to do with the confrontation of a global geopolitical situation, among many things.
