“Here will be the National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela swearing in the constitutional president (…) Nicolás Maduro Moros, elected by the vote of the people and proclaimed by the National Electoral Council,” he expressed.
The president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, commented on the insistence manifested by the former candidate Edmundo González, who insists on the issue of January 10 “as if that day is not going to happen, as if there is going to be a generalized amnesia operation in the Venezuelan population that votes by the opposition and on January 11 they are going to wake up and people are not going to say: that old liar deceived us again.”
Rodríguez made reference to the fact that for each post that some opposition representatives prepare for digital networks “there is a scale of how much a tweet, a post on Instagram, or a statement costs,” in reference to former opposition candidate González Urrutia.
“For money he tries through lies (Edmundo González) to generate anxiety, for money and not for anything else, until yesterday they said they were going to Cúcuta and with a song those ridiculous people,” added Jorge Rodríguez, who explained that only This is, once again, a robbery operation. He recalled that within the opposition there are no problems over ideological issues, but rather over “money and to see who gets the most money.”

Alleged delegated commission
The parliamentarian wondered how this supposed delegated commission, of a National Assembly with deputies who do not exist, is going to do it, because “neither Juan Vicente Gómez dared to do so, nor Guzmán Blanco (…).” He commented that we will have to sit down with some cotufas to see how they are going to elect that commission on January 5, 2025, because “we are going to be here, the representatives of the opposition, and that day the new board of directors of the Assembly will be chosen. and there will also be a vote to choose the secretary and the 15 permanent commissions will be appointed.”
He maintained that the law gives the guidelines for a plenary meeting to be held from the National Assembly and from there to choose a president. He stressed that that old Assembly “decided to be deputies forever, because it costs 5 thousand dollars a month, but what are they going to do when they wake up from that dream and tell them now, you have no choice but to work for the first time in your life?” .
He said that from 2015 to 2020 they only made “0.5 laws per year and even so they want to continue being deputies, but since they want and intend to be deputies until 2024, then it would be 0.25 laws per year that they have made, but they stole, attacked and they almost put an end to this institution that is the backbone of the exercise of democracy in Venezuela,” he concluded, but not before inviting the deputies to rejoin the sessions on January 5, 2025. work of the National Assembly.
