Assembly in contempt reissues coup d' etat decree of 2002


The National Assembly (AN), found in contempt for violating decisions of the Judiciary Power, approved on Sunday an agreement that reissues the premises of the coup d’ etat decree that dissolved all the State Powers and disowned the Constitution in 2002, when the right wing perpetrated a coup d’ etat against Commander Hugo Chavez.
With the new document, signed by the right wing majority that controls the Parliament, it is to break the Constitutional order, by disowning not only the President of the Republic, but also to other public authorities through maneuvers such as the removal of directors of the National Electoral Council (CNE) and judges of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ).
In addition it is being instigated the Bolivarian National Armed Forces to stand at the side of the institutions, to flout the instructions of the Executive, Electoral, Judicial and Citizen powers.
The NA also planned a special session for next Tuesday, October 25 to discuss “the current situation of the Presidency of the Republic”, in clear disregard of the Constitutional mandate of President Nicolas Maduro, democratically elected as Head of State in 2013.
This maneuver comes days after the country’s courts annulled, due to fraud, the collection of a 1% of signatures by the self-proclaimed Board of Unity (MUD) in seven states, a situation that led the CNE to suspend the process to collect a 20 % of expressions of will to activate the recall referendum.
In this regard, the deputy Julio Borges said the AN is in rebellion against the authorities and, on that line, will also promote interventionist actions against the country in bodies such as the Organization of American States and the International Criminal Court.
The background of the plan, presented by the right wing as a way to “restore” the constitutional order, was unveiled by deputies such as the journalist and university professor Earle Herrera, who warned that the opposition seeks to restore a neoliberal model and therefore they recall the same script they used during the Coup d’ Etat of April 2002.
With regard to the new insurrectional claim, the head of Homeland Bloc, Hector Rodriguez, said that the people will not allow a parliamentary Coup d’ Etat to be undertaken in Venezuela, as those implemented in other countries in Latin America.
