The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) on Wednesday called on the Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP) to establish legal responsibilities to the directive of the National Assembly, given their insistence on violating the provisions of the Venezuelan Magna Carta.
During a statement to the communication media this Wednesday, the magistrate and president of the Constitutional Chamber, Juan José Mendoza, said that the National Parliament violated article 236, numeral 4 and 15 of the Constitution in its attempts to usurp the powers of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro:
“The Public Prosecutor is urged, in view of the conduct constituting the offense contemplated in the Constitution and the law, so that it may proceed to determine the irresponsibility of the members of the National Assembly”, he said.
The judicial authority reiterated, in that sense, the unconstitutionality of the actions of the Legislative Power.
FIRST RULING:
On Monday, January 21, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), in a presentation by its president, Judge Juan José Mendoza Jover, declared in sentence No. 0003-2019 that in decision No. 02 of January 11, 2017, he declared the unconstitutionality due to omission of the National Legislative Power by not having dictated the indispensable measures to guarantee compliance with the Constitution, referring to compliance with the decisions issued by this Supreme Court of the Republic, and consequently the parliamentary act celebrated on January 5, 2017 was annulled, as well as the act celebrated on January 9, 2017, by the National Assembly on the occasion of the appointment of the new Board of Directors of the National Assembly and all the subsequent parliamentary acts that will be generated to contradict the orders of compliance with the decisions of this Highest Tribunal of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Likewise, it was ordered that the deputies who formed the directive of the expired term to assume their directive and secretarial functions of the National Assembly so that they would comply, in an unique and exclusively manner, with the decisions of this Supreme Court, in the terms set forth in that ruling.
Similarly, it was decided that any action of the National Assembly and of any organ or individual against said ruling shall be null and void of all validity and legal effectiveness, without prejudice to any liability that may arise.
