Irregularities in its replacement
In a press release issued by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) in the Carirubana municipality, it was reported that the now former general secretary of the Falcón Government, Luis Manuel Piña, was sworn in as acting mayor of this Paraguanero municipality.
The swearing-in ceremony was carried out by the president of the Carirubana municipal chamber to complete the 2021-2025 constitutional period.
Hours later, the opposition councilors to Concecarirubana, Jorge Luis Ruiz and Roraima Atacho, denounced the “illegality” of Piña’s swearing-in ceremony: they claim that they were not summoned to the session where the resignation of Mayor Abel Petit was presented to the municipal chamber, as established by the internal and debate regulations; reported The Morning.
The councillors warn that Piña’s appointment violates article 87 of the Municipal Public Power Law.
