Caracas, December 23 (PL-RHC)-- The Venezuelan Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) has denied receiving challenges to the results of the legislative elections that took place on December 6th.

The institution pointed out the clarification responds to statements made by political representatives and incorrect information promoted by irresponsible citizens through social networks.

According to the TSJ, this behavior does not contribute to maintaining the atmosphere of peace prevailing in the country after the parliamentary elections, in which the right-wing won 112 out of the 167 seats.

The Court declared the special sessions conducted by the National Assembly for the appointment of judges are constitutional and the powers of Parliament are not diminished despite being in the final stage of the 2011-2016 legislative period.

The entity argued that although the Constitution set December 15th for the end of the second session period in the year, during the legislative recess, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly or the President may summon special meetings.
