Without fear because we are not scared to the threat”.

They insist on referendo
Perez announced that Thursday the Legislative Council of Zulia will ask for to Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) the call of having referendo that he looks for to revert the reform to the Law of Decentralization.

This modification of the law, recently approved by the National Assembly, acquittal to the regional governments the control of ports, airports and freeways.

On the other hand, Manuel Rosales, mayor of Maracaibo (capital of Zulia), accused of embezzlement of bottoms, considered that its judicial case has a political dye.

“We are before a partidización of the Judicial Power”, said Rosales.
