06:22the National Assembly, Pedro Carreño, who is going to notify us the new legislative

06:30period in this 2025-2026 term, thank you, good afternoon, Mr. Dr. Tarek William Saab,

06:45head of the Moral Council, and Attorney General of the Republic, Gustavo Vizcaíno, Comptroller

06:55of the Republic, and an Ombudsman, and other authorities, so as it is abided by Article

07:08219 of our Constitution, on February 15, it is said the National Assembly, and in this

07:20way we have done it, Article 9 of our Internal Regulation stipulates that when the National

07:31Assembly is installed, the President would designate Commissions to inform the branches

07:39of the public power, that is why today we have comprised the Commission, and so legislators

07:50Angelita Mayo, Jose Brito, Alexander Cordero, and myself, we made up a Committee, and so

08:02we came in front of the citizen power to inform that has been installed the National Assembly

08:11for the 2025-2026 term, and in the installation of the National Assembly, there is a unique

08:23item which is the election of the Directive Board, and so it is a communicational and

08:32remarkable event, which there I informed that the Directive Board has been made up of the

08:44following way, Legislator Jorge Rodríguez Gómez, who is the head, and Pedro José Infante Aparicio,

08:52first Vice President, America Valentina Pérez Dávila, second Vice President,

08:59and María Alejandra Hernández, Secretary, Clerk, and José Omar Molina, Deputy Secretary,

09:12and so to comply with formality, I just delivered the letter of the information to the President

09:23of the Moral Council of the Republic, and so I informed that the citizen power,

09:38the old information regarding the National Assembly for 2025-2026 term.

09:54In this way, this Moral Council of the Republic, the citizen power, a power that stems from the

10:08light of the Constitution, which was created in 1999, within its great breakthroughs,

10:22made us to disrupt that classic tradition of three powers, each one more lucky to others,

10:36and just lucky to the foreign interests. So, we have five powers in this country,

10:43which are united through the constitutional principle of cooperating among polypowers,

10:51to strengthen our democracy, our participatory democracy, to keep order, to keep peace,

11:03not to allow any foreign powers, any conspiracies, any treason to our homeland.

11:14All conspiracies have been defeated, have been unveiled, all have been placed publicly before

11:24the world as mercenary actions, not only a search to steal from us national resources and deliver

11:38to those foreign powers who do not mind popular democracy. So, we have been strengthened,

11:48and I could end my speech by saying that Venezuela is a did world, Venezuela is a

11:55country that generated through Simón Bolívar and the liberators a decade, an era that hasn't

12:05been repeated anywhere, defeated the most powerful empire at that time, the Spanish one.

12:19And so, we have got the legacy of that glory. So, I can say that what Venezuela has gone through

12:28on all these years, attempts of coup d'etats, of lives, assaults on barracks and police

12:37headquarters, attempts of wars with uprisings, attempts of invasions, use of mercenaries,

12:47use of structural groups, criminal groups, the known G2, which are associated with those groups

12:58of far-right wing, which are supported by US imperialism, all of them have been defeated.

13:07And so, Venezuela has gained a lot of respect from it. So, this is a country that must be respected

13:14with solid institutions, with a judicial system that does not allow impunity, that does not allow

13:23the violation of our constitution, and does not allow that acts like those I have mentioned,

13:31that without being processed or being through court. That's the message of the nation,

13:40that unity that is going to remain on time, and that surely the Venezuelan people will think,

13:48because if we just make a poll, a primary poll, and if they want to make it higher,

13:59I would say that 99% of this country is fed up of these calls to violence, of these calls to

14:07irrational riots, that has been just isolated, isolating the far-right. And so, Venezuela is going

14:20to express their support to the institutionality, and to the swearing ceremony of the President

14:31Nicolás Maduro. That's what's going to happen, and that is what is decreed by this power.

14:42We listened to statements of Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab as the public ministry

14:47hosted members of the National Assembly who came to update the Attorney General on the

14:51inauguration of the National Assembly and its leadership last Sunday. Venezuela continues

14:56on the path of peace ahead of President Nicolás Maduro's inauguration this January 10th.

15:00For what he said, the nation continues at peace as the school year resumed this week,

15:05and Venezuelans go about their daily lives in complete normality. And the Attorney General

15:09also expressed the full support of the Venezuelan people and the Venezuelan institutionality for the

15:15swearing ceremony of President Nicolás Maduro, who was elected by the majority of Venezuelans

15:20in the elections of last year by 28th. This is the current situation in Venezuela. It is at peace,

15:25and everything is on track for the inauguration of the President next Friday,

15:29January 10th. Stay tuned with Televisión English for more updates in upcoming news briefs.
