Venezuelan National Assembly Ratifies Jorge Rodríguez for Fifth Consecutive Year as President Ahead of Maduro's Inauguration
Jan 5, 2025, 04:26 PM
The Venezuelan National Assembly has ratified Jorge Rodríguez as its president for the 2025-2026 legislative term, marking his fifth consecutive year in the position. The ratification occurred during the assembly's opening session for the new legislative period, five days before the scheduled inauguration of President Nicolás Maduro. Rodríguez, a close ally of Maduro, was confirmed alongside Pedro Infante and América Pérez as first and second vice presidents, respectively, with María Alejandra Hernández and José Omar Molina appointed as secretary and subsecretary. The assembly's decision to maintain its leadership, dominated by a majority officialist bloc, comes amidst ongoing political tensions, with the opposition claiming electoral fraud in the recent presidential election that saw Maduro proclaimed as the winner with 52% of the votes.
