The Professional Association Front announced on Wednesday in a press conference that they will visit the headquarters of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Caracas with the support of "one million signatures for freedom" to denounce the violation of civil and private liberties by the Government, following the enactment of 26 decree-laws under the Enabling law.

In the opinion of Gustavo Briceño Vigas, the president of the Disciplinary Board of the Caracas Bar Association, "the rule of law and the principle of justice are over." Therefore, we will ask José Miguel Insulza, the Secretary General of the OAS, to convene the foreign ministers of the region to discuss the violation of the Constitution by the Venezuelan government.

For its part, Humberto Blanco, a director of the Venezuelan Engineers' Association warned: "we have no time. Either we confront the intentions of the government or we will face slavery. This is a battle for democracy. We will use every mechanism available. We do not rule out any options."
