In an ordinary session this Thursday, the president of the National Assembly (AN), deputy Jorge Rodríguez (PSUV/Capital District), ordered the creation of a special commission to investigate the participation of political parties and representatives of the 2015-2020 legislature in the dispossession and robbery of the Venezuelan Citgo Petroleum Corporation company.
This commission will be chaired by the first vice president of the Parliament, deputy Pedro Infante (PSUV/Capital District), and has a period of one week to record the requested information, as well as the classification of the crimes committed by those involved.
The highest representative of the Legislature indicated that the criminal actions of these characters are typified in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Organic Law of Domain Extinction, and the Law for the Protection of Assets, Rights and Interests of the Republic and its Entities Abroad.
Rodríguez explained that the Asset Forfeiture Law expressly states that it is possible to go against the accomplices of these crimes of theft of public money. “This National Assembly has to remind you that in this country there are laws to respect,” he pointed out.
He urged the special commission to present the detailed report, with the name, surname and residence of the people who participated in the dispossession of the Venezuelan company abroad, which includes Dinorah Figuera, a representative of the Primero Justicia (PJ) political party, a refugee in Madrid, Spain, and self-appointed president of the disastrous parliament.
He denounced that Dinorah Figuera used Citgo resources to maintain and finance the Primero Justicia party: “This criminal uses the resources of the profits of the Citgo Corporation, and instead of using them to maintain and finance the political campaigns of her party called Primero Justicia, those profits could have been used to meet the health, education, and food needs of our people and to care for Venezuelans who require interventions in specialized hospitals around the world,” said Rodríguez.
