(El Universal) Venezuelan representatives from the political, legal and social sectors have sent a document to the Standing Committee on Domestic Policy of the National Assembly (AN) demanding an investigation over the nationality of President NicolÁs Maduro.
The decision came after doubts surfaced about the origins of Maduro, who has refused to show his birth certificate.
The Committee’s president Delsa SolÓrzano delivered the document to the Sub-Committee on Civil Matters, headed by opposition deputy for Cojedes state Denis FernÁndez, according to an El Universal report published on Thursday.
The document states that doubts about Maduro’s nationality arose by the time he was appointed as foreign minister in August 2006. Then, the word was spread that the Venezuelan Head of State was born in Cúcuta, Colombia.
The claimants pointed out that when Maduro was designated presidential candidate, seven days before the election for president of Venezuela, some Colombian dailies described a number of events that sparked interest over the issue nationwide and abroad.
The document was presented by attorney Enrique Aristeguieta Gramcko, former Attorney General Jesús Petit Da Costa, and journalist Nitu PÉrez Osuna, and was signed by representatives of the country’s journalistic, political, legal, and social fields.
