With the votes against the move by Podemos and Frente Popular Humanista (People's Humanist Front), the National Assembly (AN) passed on Tuesday afternoon the Law on the Capital District System, which provides for the appointment by the Venezuelan President of a single authority for the jurisdiction.

The Law "will make the Caracas people disregard what has been imposed at the Parliament. I am positive that the Caracas people will put in their right place those who are nowadays violating the sovereignty of their will expressed in the voting of November 23rd," said Deputy Juan José Molina for opposition political Podemos party.

For his part, Deputy Tomás Sánchez, for the Frente Popular Humanista, voted against the law for considering that the national Assembly was "cutting out" the Constitution.

"This absolutist process has turned into a steamroller of the democratic process by drafting laws intended to exert control on public spaces and institutions. We refuse it and cannot agree with such totalitarian actions," said Sánchez.
