“This action is the result of an exhaustive analysis of their behavior and the direction they have taken, in contrast to the fundamental principles of Primero Justicia. From this moment on, these citizens are not legally authorized to exercise political functions on behalf of our movement, since they do not have the support or legitimacy of the party,” Brito said on his social networks.
For his part, Julio Borges, co-founder of the Primera Justicia party (PJ), who is in Spain, a fugitive from Venezuelan justice, rejected the announcement of his expulsion.
Borges questioned Brito’s legitimacy to make such a decision: “José Brito, you cannot expel anyone from Primero Justicia because you are not a member of the party. You are not recognized for your militancy.

In addition, he threatened to take legal action against those who “intend to continue usurping functions” in the name of the party.

This incident adds to the accusations made by the leader of the aurilínea awning, Henrique Capriles, after presenting his resignation, who insists that Borges manages the party’s finances as he pleases and “manages the party’s communications giving priority to his interests.” individuals”, as well as paying information networks and portals.

Capriles, in his letter of resignation from the party, accused the members of the board of having “lost vision”, being “inert” and of lack of internal unity, ensuring that there are “irreconcilable differences” between the members of the board.
