Signed, endorsed and executed from this moment,” said Maduro during the International Conference in Solidarity with Palestine.
The new law It is created in response to an instrument that bears a similar name: Bolívar Law, approved on November 18 by the United States House of Representatives, which attempts to “cut off the financial lifeline” to Maduro, which has upset the administration.

After the vote, the president of Parliament, Jorge Rodríguez, ordered that the instrument be sent to the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice for review and subsequent promulgation. In just one day the TSJ gave its approval for the new law, expressly created, is finally approved by the AN.
Maduro also referred to the opponent Edmundo González Urrutia. “We crushed the Guaidó project, so much so that they were left breathless, that is the true hidden side of the politics of deception,” he said in relation to the interim government of Juan Guaidó, who was recognized as president of Venezuela by several countries in 2019.
