Opposition in the AN do not have a majority to choose a new directorate of the CNE

The parliamentary chief of the National Assembly Block of the National Assembly (AN) Francisco Torrealba, said on Tuesday that the bench of the opposition right wing has admitted that there is a Legislative Omission, which leads to the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) to appoint the new National Electoral Council (CNE).

Torrealba explained that the various fractions of the Venezuelan opposition represented in the AN in contempt do not have the majority required to appoint a new CNE directorate.

In statements to the press, the Bolivarian deputy explained that the opposition parliamentarians acknowledged the technical impossibility of the National Assembly to choose the members of the CNE, since no group brings together two thirds that are necessary to make decisions on this matter.

“We have found it sensible that, given the technical impossibility, the right wing in their positions (interventions before the plenary), acknowledged that no group brings together two thirds and admitted the legislative omission”, he said at the end of the AN session.
