Public Ministry of Venezuela

Years later, in 1830, the Constitution of the Gran Colombia, would consecrate to the Public Ministry as an organ dependent on the Executive Power, in the figure of the Attorney General of the Republic.

It was not until 1901 when the Constitution of the United States of Venezuela establishes the Public Ministry, in charge of the Attorney General of the Nation, differentiating its functions from those corresponding to the Judicial Power.

In 2017, the Supreme Court of Justice, at the request of Pedro Carreño, initiated legal proceedings that culminated in the dismissal of Luisa Ortega Díaz as attorney general, a procedure that constitutionally can only be carried out by the National Assembly.

Ortega Díaz disregarded the sentence of the Supreme Court of Justice on her dismissal and ignored the designation of Saab as attorney general, and several deputies of the National Assembly expressed their support for the affected official.

[5] Luis Almagro, General Secretary of the Organization of American States (OAS), and several leaders and prosecutors of the world expressed their rejection and repudiation of the dismissal of Luisa Ortega Díaz.
