Maduro’s government will create a law to perpetually disqualify those who request sanctions
The National Assembly (AN), controlled by Chavismo, will create a “special law” to politically disqualify in perpetuity those who “have committed such lascivious acts” how to request or celebrate sanctions international against the country, said this Tuesday the president of the Chamber, the ruling party Jorge Rodríguez.
The proposed law “against the blockade and for the defense” of Venezuela will include, according to Rodríguez, a judicial process against those who request “acts of aggression against their own land” for “treason to the country”, a crime punishable in the country with the maximum penalty, 30 years in prison.
“We must have articles in this special law where new ways of going against these criminals are established to judge and condemn them for treason to the country,” said the Chavista deputy, who minutes before accused the opponent Edmundo González Urrutia -exiled in Spain since September- of being “calling for sanctions against Venezuela” in Europe and the United States.

Law to disqualify opponents
Rodríguez raised the regulations during the discussion of an agreement in rejection of a bill approved by the US House of Representatives that complements the regulations that prohibit federal institutions of the US government from hiring people or companies that have commercial ties with the Nicolás government. Ripe.
In the opinion of the ruling parliamentarian, this is a “new act of barbarism” that persists in one of the “most aggressive actions that the country has ever known” and that “has characteristics of crimes against humanity,” in reference to the sanctions, which – he stated – are “aimed at the extermination of freedom, mainly, economic freedom.”
The Venezuelan Executive also rejected the bill from the House of Representatives and stated that it was requested by the “fascist right” in order to “prevent the relationship (sic) and economic cooperation between Venezuela and the United States.”
This proposal is added – he added – to the more than 930 “unilateral coercive measures”, as he calls the sanctions imposed by the North American country and members of the Government and Chavismo.
