The lawyer and deputy of the AN 2020 Hermann Escarrá believes that there are still “debts” to be fulfilled in the Constitution from the organizational point of view. «The State is another. The communes are a fundamental factor in what is the proposal of the revolution and what is being developed in organizational terms of the people,” he asserted.
Hermann Escarrá, constitutional lawyer and deputy of the National Assembly elected in December 2020, raised the possibility of making a possible amendment to the Constitution in order to be able to include what the communal State is, since in his opinion things have changed since 1999 and the promulgation of the current Magna Carta.
In an interview granted to VTVEscarrá explained that within the current Basic Text there is “very little” about the commune and the legislative councils related to it, which is why he suggests that it could go to a constitutional amendment or reform to be more strongly integrated.
«The State is another. The communes are a fundamental factor in what is the proposal of the revolution and what is being developed in organizational terms of the people”, he asserted.
Similarly, it recognized that there are constitutional “debts” regarding organizational issues of the State. He indicated that, when the Council of State was created, it should be made permanent and not temporary, for which reason he said that it was indeed necessary to develop ideas more broadly.

He affirmed that the Constitution requires a “loyalty” that is born of respect for national sovereignty that approved the Basic Text in a referendum. For this reason, he criticized the opinion of some jurists of wanting to return to the Magna Carta of 1961 by stating that when one rule is repealed by another, what it actually does is eliminate “a time” and “a form of coexistence.”
23 years after the referendum approving the current Constitution, Hermann Escarrá considers that it “shields” Venezuelans because, among other things, rights are established for citizens that were not previously expressed in another Magna Carta of the country and In addition, a new “architecture” is provided by going from three to five powers in the State.
He reiterated that the 1999 Constitution has gone through several setbacks and attacks, but despite this, it has emerged with flying colors.
