Cuban Parliament Will Meet On December 29 / 14ymedio
Posted on December 10, 2015

14ymedio, Havana, 9 December 2015 — The National Assembly of People's
Power, which will begin its next session on December 29, will meet in an
important political moment, marked by the first anniversary of the new
relationship with the United States and by the climate of uncertainty
following the electoral defeat of the ruling party in Venezuela, the
Cuban government's main ally.

On December 4, the National Assembly's Committee on International
Relations expressed "its firm rejection of constant, systematic and
increasing acts and statements of interference in the internal affairs
of our sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela."

In that statement the deputies accused "external opposition
spokespeople" of trying to "deny or ignore the achievements of the
Bolivarian Revolution." However, since the overwhelming victory of the
Venezuelan opposition in legislative elections on December 6, the Cuban
parliament has not issued any formal statement.

The National Assembly holds two regular meetings a year, the second in
December. The Assembly consists of 612 members representing 168
municipalities and is elected every five years, most recently in 2013.
