BUENOS AIRES (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st May, 2019) Venezuela's constitutional parliament, the National Constituent Assembly, extended its term until the end of 2020, its chairman Diosdado Cabello said on Monday.
"The National Constituent Assembly has decided to continue to meet and function at least until December 31, 2020, in order to continue fulfilling the tasks entrusted," he wrote on Twitter.
Originally elected in 2017 to draft a new constitution, the parliament was supposed to work until August 2019, but last year, Cabello said he could not rule out that this temporary authority could extend its work for another several years.
The country also has an opposition parliament headed by Juan Guaido, who illegally declared himself the interim president of Venezuela.
