Parliament dismisses the chairman of a commission with the US for proposing the "dollarization" of the country
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported36m ago
The Venezuelan National Assembly, led by ruling-party figure Jorge Rodríguez, has abruptly dismissed opposition deputy Antonio Ecarri from his position as president of the Venezuela-United States Parliamentary Friendship Group. The dismissal, which took place in Caracas on a Saturday in August following the group's establishment in May, occurred after Ecarri met with U.S. economist Steve Hanke.
The removal of the opposition lawmaker was directly triggered by discussions regarding the potential "dollarization" of the country during Ecarri's meeting with Hanke. The abrupt action by the pro-government parliamentary leadership underscores the political sensitivity surrounding monetary policy and foreign engagement regarding the United States within Venezuela's legislative body.
