Venezuela's attorney general surprisingly broke ranks with President Nicolas Maduro on Friday, condemning recent Supreme Court rulings that consolidated the socialist president's power as a "rupture of constitutional order."
Luisa Ortega, long seen as a loyalist of the socialist "revolution" launched by Maduro's mentor Hugo Chavez, said in her annual report that recent high court rulings "show evidence of various violations of the constitutional order and ignorance of the state model established in our constitution."
The report was released a day after the court, which has staunchly backed Maduro through an economic and political crisis, effectively dissolved the opposition-majority legislature and assumed its powers.
