Dissenting groups to rally against package of laws

Governor Cabello views "nothing unusual" in decree-laws

Oscar Pérez, a member of opposition Comando Nacional de la Resistencia (National Resistance Command, CNR), called on Wednesday to a rally next Saturday against the package of laws, or the 26 decree-laws enacted by the Executive Office early August.

Additionally, he urged people to "set their hands onto the forms that will be forwarded to the Organization of American States (OAS) against these laws that run counter to the National Constitution."

Further, he does not think that the National Assembly will be able to discuss a new telecommunications law which, in his opinion, "would restrain Venezuelans' freedom of expression."
