The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, ratified on Thursday that any Governor who does not subordinates to the National Constituent Assembly (ANC) will not be able to exercise its position.
“Whoever is not sworn in and subordinates to the National Constituent Assembly will not be able to take its position, whatever his/her name”, said the National President from Aragua, in a joint radio and television broadcast.
He explained that this decision is due to the fact that some of the opposition Governors who were elected, did participated in the “guarimbas” (street riots).
“If any of them breaks the rules and assuming the Governorate intends to use it for violence and “guarimba”, would immediately be dismissed and will go to jail for violating the oath before the Constituent”, he warned.
He emphasized that Peace must be defended and: “Cannot be accepted a single more guarimba, nor for any more human beings being burned for their skin color, their social status or their political thinking”, he said.
“The ANC has all my support in that decision they have taken to guarantee and defend the peace, coexistence, harmony, constitutionality and legality of the country”, he said.
The subordination to the Originary Power of those elected as Governors on October 15, responds to the Constitutional mandate established in Article 349, which states that all constituted powers will have to be subordinated to the ANC, since by its plenipotentiary character places it above all public powers.
