Former Venezuelan Supreme Court Justice, Christian Zerpa
MIAMI, USA — Former Venezuelan Supreme Court Justice, Christian Zerpa, has fled to the United States to protest President Nicolas Maduro’s regime.
Zerpa, once a staunch supporter of Maduro, fled to Miami, Florida, where in an interview he told EVTV: “I’ve decided to leave Venezuela to disavow the government of Nicolas Maduro.”
Zerpa also called the last presidential elections, which saw Maduro win in a landslide that many saw as flagrantly flawed and illegal, the last straw for him and he decided to speak out against what looks like a totalitarian regime now being run by Maduro in Venezuela.
Zerpa had been a crucial ally for Maduro on the court during his tenure, writing a key legal opinion in 2016 justifying the president’s decision to strip congress of its powers.
