Asamblea Nacional (AN)

The Asamblea Nacional (AN) is Venezuela's National Assembly. Recent news focuses on its role in confirming key government officials. Specifically, the AN, dominated by the ruling party, recently confirmed Larry Devoe as Fiscal General. This appointment, along with the selection process, has drawn criticism from the Organization of American States (OEA). The OEA's Secretary General, Albert Ramdin, challenged the legitimacy of the process, prompting a response from the Venezuelan government, led by Delcy Rodríguez. The government asserted Venezuela's right to self-determination in the face of external scrutiny. The AN's actions are significant because they highlight the ongoing political tensions within Venezuela and the international community's concerns regarding the fairness and transparency of its governance.
