This week the new National Electoral Council will move a file on the Venezuelan political board calling the elections for deputies to Parliament with significant changes in the representative formula and the number of deputies to choose.
The new CNE board, made up of Indira Alfonzo, Rafael Simón Jiménez, Tania D ‘Amelio, Gladys Gutiérrez and José Luis Gutiérrez, has December 13 as the date marked on the calendar for the elections.
In fact, for this Monday, June 29, the Electoral Power is scheduled to meet for the first time with political parties with a view to the elections. The members of the so-called National Dialogue Table are expected to attend, including Avanzada Progresista, MAS, Cambiemos, Soluciones para Venezuela, and Esperanza por el Cambio, chaired by Javier Bertucci. Probably there will also be the First Justice of Luis Parra, the AD of Bernabé Gutiérrez and the Copei of Juan Carlos Alvarado.
Logically, the leaders of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Psuv), as well as the Patriotic Pole, will not miss the meeting either.
In relation to the call for elections, the CNE will put on the table to raise the number of deputies from 167 to more than 200, according to what was reported last week by Segundo Mélendez, of the Movement to Socialism (MAS). While the proportionality system for the election of deputies will go from 70% by list and 30% nominal, to 60% by list and 40% nominal.
The modification of proportionality seeks, according to sectors of the “table”, to give it “greater diversity in the next Parliament”.
While from the CNE, the Government and the “table” put “cruising speed” to the contest by the parliamentarians, the position of the G-4, led by Popular Will (Juan Guaidó-Leopoldo López), First Justice (Julio Borges ), Accion Democrática (Henry Ramos Allup) and Un Nuevo Tiempo (Manuel Rosales) remain unchanged and so far there are no signs of moving an iota to participate in the legislative demands that the CNE has not left the Parliament, but the TSJ.
In the international community, the USA, the OAS, the European Union and, more recently, the Contact Group for Venezuela have also spoken out questioning that the CNE has emerged via the Supreme Court of Justice for the declaration of legislative omission and they have not manifested themselves in support of the elections, but rather a political negotiation of the Venezuelan crisis that leads to a general election and a consensual transition process.
