On this point, the president of the AN, Jorge Rodríguez, issued instructions to the above-mentioned Commissions to initiate an investigation into the copper of private parking lots in Caracas and other cities in the country.

On his account on the social network Instagram, he stressed that “from the National Assembly we agreed to create a Commission to investigate these irregularities in a peremptory manner. We will not allow abuses that affect the pockets of Venezuelan families.”
