Caracas_ A week marked by aggressive attacks from outside and inside the country ended in Venezuela, while President Nicolás Maduro reiterated his attachment to the dialogue, Prensa Latina reports.

Speaking on the eve about the controversy between the Attorney General's Office and the Supreme Court of Justice, the president said: "I believe in the dialogue and in the implementation of the Constitution as a way to resolve disputes."

The Constitutional Chamber of the TSJ, which enforced the powers established in Article 335 and 336 of the Constitution of Venezuela, assumed some of the functions of the National Assembly, with a majority of the opposition right, who has been in contempt since last December.

Ortega said that this measure violates the Constitution and is a rupture of the constitutional order.

In a well thought out action, according to a Venezuelan lawyer who bets on the strength of the judicial system of the country and who requested anonymity, Maduro called a meeting of the Defense Council of the Nation, to resolve any difference of constituted powers.

The head of state said he was unaware of the ruling issued by the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice.

Article 323 of the Constitution states that the Defense Council of the Nation is the highest organ of consultation for the planning and advice of the Public Power in matters related to the integral defense of the Nation, its sovereignty and the integrity of its geographical space.

The constitutionality of the TSJ's action is only questioned by right-wing groups and internal actors seeking to overthrow Maduro’s government.In this regard, the opposition deputy and illegal president of the AN as arranged by the TSJ, Julio Borges, called on his supporters to act violently to overthrow the government.

The politician urged external forces to reinforce their actions to overthrow the constitutional government and generate a diplomatic climate conducive to foreign intervention, something that raises a growing rejection among international movements in support of the Bolivarian Revolution.

Regarding the arguments against the government, the Venezuelan ambassador to Italy and former prosecutor general, Isaias Rodriguez, acknowledged that the TSJ's ruling is controversial "but attached to law."

The official added that the Constitution is intact, "the parliament has not been dissolved, there is total respect for human rights, there is full freedom of expression within the country, political participation is plural within the country, parties exist and there is free access to justice.”

Meanwhile, the atmosphere is tense on Saturday, although plans against the government are unlikely to thrive, especially since there is strong support from popular sectors and the Armed Forces to the Miraflores authorities.
