Diosdado Cabello: talks closed their first round "with the expected results" and focus on gold and quake victims

At the PSUV press conference, Diosdado Cabello said the talks focused on care for earthquake victims and recovering the country's gold. He announced a popular consultation for October. According to David Placeres, Jorge Rodríguez offered the 2015 National Assembly deputies to approve any controls they propose over the gold.

On the new Supreme Court (TSJ), jurist Javier Elechiguerra told Vladimir Villegas that no deputy should sit on the Nominations Committee and that all three branches involved must take part.
