The National Constituent Assembly (ANC) of Venezuela rejected, for being coup-plotting, the decision agreed by the European Parliament that on Thursday illegally recognized the usurpation of positions of popular election by sectors of the Venezuelan right wing:
«We reaffirm that no foreign authority or body with imperial pretensions and with colonialist pretenses has the right to interfere in internal affairs of our country», states the Plenipotentiary Power in part of its communiqué.
The ANC urged the members of that European body «to strictly respect the principles enshrined in international law, in the Charter of the United Nations, as well as in the treaties that govern sovereign relations among States».

BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA
NATIONAL CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY
COMMUNIQUÉ:
IN REJECTION OF THE RESOLUTION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT IN WHICH IT ADDS TO THE PLAN OF THE COUP D’ ETAT ORCHESTRATED FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The National Constituent Assembly, in exercise of its originary power emanating from the mandate conferred by the Venezuelan people on July 30, 2017 and, in strict adherence to the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, firmly and categorically rejects the Resolution of the Parliament European, approved on January 30, 2019, in which they intend to endorse a coup d’etat in Venezuela, following the coup plot organized by the United States Government.
We condemn the constant attacks of the President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, who, moving away from his strictly legislative function for Europe, takes advantage of his high investiture to pressure the EU and its Member States to bow to the most extremist positions that seek to unleash violence and the rupture of the constitutional order in Venezuela.
We reaffirm that no foreign authority or body with imperial pretensions and with colonialist pretenses has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of our Homeland, nor in the sovereign decisions adopted by the Venezuelan people through democratic, free, universal, direct and secret elections such as those celebrated on May 20, 2018, in which it elected Nicolás Maduro Moros as President of the Republic for the 2019-2025 term.
We urge the European Parliament to strictly respect the principles enshrined in international law, in the Charter of the United Nations, as well as in the treaties governing sovereign relations between States and, as a consequence, to abstain in a definitive and unconditional manner from carrying out pronouncements that seek to undermine the integrity of the legitimately constituted democratic institutions of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
We reaffirm before the organisms, States and nations of the world that the National Constituent Assembly will remain firm in the defense, promotion and expansion of the vigorous Venezuelan democracy, of the human rights of the Venezuelan people, as well as of its inalienable rights to independence, freedom, sovereignty, immunity, territorial integrity and national self-determination and, consequently, will not give in to pressures of any kind, regardless of where they come from.
We support all national and international actions undertaken by the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, in the preservation and defense of peace, independence and national sovereignty in the face of this new international attack against the Homeland of the Liberator Simón Bolivar.
Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela:
