The decision of the leader of the violent groups of the extreme right and former presidential candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia, could have incurred a situation of “contumacy and rebellion” not having attended the summons of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), said constitutional lawyer Hermann Escarrà.

During an interview with Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), Escarra pointed out that this attitude of González Urrutia could have consequences in the criminal sphere.

In the same way, the deputy to the National Assembly (AN), assured that the contentious appeal introduced by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, before the electoral chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) is based on article 297 of the Constitution.

Escarrà explained that the head of state attends the Supreme Court because “a serious, notorious, communicational situation occurs, which are aggressions against the electronic platform of the National Electoral Council (CNE), on the other hand, an extreme sector of the right, had been doing before, and in the process itself, but starting the night of the election itself, he began to handle the idea of fraud all over the country and abroad.”

In addition, he indicated that in the face of the situation of violence that occurred, the president has several alternatives “in addition to displacing the mechanisms and structures for citizen security. However, he preferred to go to the contentious electoral judicial system as provided for in the constitutional norm.”
