Venezuelan far-right politician Henry Ramos Allup urged the opposition to leave behind the chapter of the now-defunct National Assembly of 2015, which has had no mandate since January 2021 but is illegally extended by US-led destabilizing interests.
Ramos Allup made this statement in a message published on social media, in which he agreed with the opinion of the general secretary of Un Nuevo Tiempo party, Ăngelo Palmieri, who urged a few days ago to “end” the phase of the 2015 National Assembly.
âCertainly Ăngelo Palmieri. The 2015 National Assembly was elected on December 6, 2015. Its term began on January 5, 2016, and ended on January 5, 202. Despite all the harassment, it fulfilled its duties in the best possible way,” wrote the former president of that National Assembly.
Ciertamente @angelopalmerib UNT. La AN 2015 fue elegida el 06DIC2015, su perĂodo de vigencia comenzĂł el 05ENE2016, finalizĂł el 05ENE2021 y pese a todos los acosos cumpliĂł de la mejor manera posible. Ahora la prioridad es la libertad de todos los presos polĂticos.

Ăngelo Palmieri said in an interview with AlNavĂo that his party believes that the 2015 National Assembly fulfilled its role, and there is no longer any justification for it to continue in office. âThe country demands us to fulfill our responsibility and speak with clarity and a view to the future,” he said.
On December 23, the National Assembly decided to submit a request to the Attorney General of the Republic to apply the Liberator SimĂłn BolĂvar Law Against the Imperialist Blockade against the former deputies of the defunct 2015 National Assembly.
Venezuelaâs National Assembly Requests Application of BolĂvar Law Against Former Deputies
The president of the National Assembly, Deputy Jorge RodrĂguez, presented a letter sent by opposition leaders associated with the defunct 2015 National Assembly to the US ChargĂ© d’Affaires in Colombia and US Chief of Mission for Venezuela Francisco Palmieri, asking for resources for their âfunctions.â
âWhat these shameless people are doing is looking for a way for their master, Palmieri, to approve the money that does not belong to them but to the people of Venezuela,” RodrĂguez stressed, referring to the Venezuelan foreign assets seized by the US Treasury.
The request for an investigation under the Liberator SimĂłn BolĂvar Law Against the Imperialist Blockade was made against the opposition politicians Dinora Figuera, Marianela FernĂĄndez, and Auristela VĂĄsquez, who call themselves president, first vice president, and second vice president, respectively, of the non-existent 2015 National Assembly.
The current constitutionally elected National Assembly has requested the application of the Liberator SimĂłn BolĂvar Law Against the Imperialist Blockade, political disqualification, expropriation of assets, and legal actions against the aforementioned individuals.
