Below is the full text of the statement:

The Public Ministry of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reports that, in the exercise of its constitutional and legal powers, it has requested before the competent Court the revocation of the precautionary measure granted to the citizen Juan Pablo Guanipa: by virtue of the fact that the non-compliance with the conditions imposed by the above-mentioned court has been verified.

The Public Prosecutor's Office recalls that the precautionary measures agreed by the courts are conditioned on strict compliance with the imposed obligations and that their non-compliance empowers the judicial body, at the request of a party: to revoke or replace the measure previously granted, in accordance with current legislation.

In this regard, the Public Prosecutor's Office has requested the Court to take the appropriate legal decisions , in protection of criminal proceedings, to move to a regime of house arrest.

Finally, the Public Ministry invokes the spirit of the ongoing Democratic Coexistence and Peace Program, as well as the consultation of the Amnesty Law, in order to guarantee the union and reconciliation of Venezuelans at this historic moment. Venezuela demands a space for national meetings within the framework of the Constitution of the Republic.
