Venezuelan Constituent Assembly left Juan Guaidó without immunity | Chronic

The Constituent Assembly, which would answer the President Nicolás Maduro, deprived of the immunity of the parliamentary leader Juan Guaidó, who has proclaimed himself interim president of Venezuela and authorized the highest court to prosecute him criminally for usurpation of duties.

The Constituent Assembly approved unanimously "authorize the continuation of the criminal proceedings of the deputy" Guided by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), announced Diosdado Cabello, president of the body that reigns in Venezuela with absolute power.

On 29 January, the Supreme Court opened an investigation against Guaidó for allegedly usurping the duties of President Nicolás Maduro, who also accused him of planning an attack against him.

"Sometimes the law takes time, but in this case, it will come," Cabello warned at the closing of the debate at the Federal Legislative Building.

It should be noted that Guaidó proclaimed himself acting president on January 23, after opposition parliament declared Maduro "usurper" for having started a second term, the 10th of the month, which, in his opinion, resulted from the elections "fraudulent".

"We act on the basis of the Constitution", stressed hair. The Magna Carta establishes that the TSJ is the "only authority authorized to order, with the authorization of the National Assembly", detention and prosecution of parliamentarians.

But the highest court, accused of serving Maduro, has declared Parliament contempt of court in 2016 and considers all its decisions as null and void.

In addition, the Constituent Assembly, elected in August 2017 and unknown to the opposition, governs as a plenipotentiary body to which all other state institutions must be subordinated.
