Luis Parra Rivero is a National Assembly Deputy (2021-2025) having been re-elected on 6 December 2020 in undemocratic parliamentary elections not recognised as free and fair by the UK. He was appointed Vice President of the National Assembly’s Permanent Commission on the Environment in January 2021. Parra Rivero had previously served as a National Assembly Deputy for the period 2016-2020. There are reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra has been involved in undermining democracy in Venezuela by attempting to take office as NA President on 5 January 2020 under an illegitimate process. The evidence indicates that Parra did not have the quorum for a session, the session was not moderated by the previous President of the National Assembly, and security forces blocked access to MPs that tried to enter the NA to participate in elections for a new National Assembly board. There are also reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra was involved with Operation Alacran, a scandal in which MPs were bribed, intimidated and coerced by the regime (or deputies co-opted by the regime) to not vote for opposition figurehead Juan Guaidó. There are lastly reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra has been involved in undermining democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela through his involvement in a corruption scandal related to the regime’s Committee of Supply and Demand (CLAP). There are also reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra is associated with a person who is involved in undermining democracy in Venezuela (Nicolas Maduro), through aiding Maduro’s attacks on and attempts to control the National Assembly.

En tant que membre de l’Assemblée nationale élue en 2015, il a mis en scène son élection au poste de président de l’Assemblée nationale le 5 janvier 2020, portant ainsi atteinte à la démocratie et à l’état de droit au Venezuela. L’élection s’est tenue alors que la police militaire bloquait l’accès aux locaux de l’Assemblée nationale à plusieurs députés et sans que le quorum ait été atteint. Par conséquent, les membres de l’opposition ont été contraints de s’organiser en dehors des locaux de l’Assemblée nationale pour réélire Juan Guaidó à sa présidence. Peu de temps après ce simulacre d’élection, organisé par Parra Rivero et soutenu par le parti politique du régime (PSUV), Parra Rivero a été reconnu par Maduro et l’Assemblée nationale constituante (ANC) non reconnue.
