| Declaración de motivos del Reino Unido |
Franklyn Duarte 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. Duarte had previously served as a National Assembly Deputy for the period 20156-2020.
As a Deputy of the 2015-2020 National Assembly Deputy, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that Franklin Duarte has been involved in the repression of democratic opposition and other actions, policies, or activities which undermine democracy in Venezuela by coming to power through fraudulent/illegitimate elections for the new National Assembly Board on 5 January 2020 and through his involvement with Operation Alacran.
There are also reasonable grounds to suspect that Duarte has been acting on behalf of, or at the direction of, a person (Nicolas Maduro) who is involved in repression of political opposition and other actions, policies, or activities which undermine democracy in Venezuela, by enabling him to attack and control the democratically elected National Assembly.
There are lastly reasonable grounds to suspect that Duarte is a member of, or associated with, persons who have been involved with the repression of democratic opposition and other actions, policies, and activities which undermined democracy in Venezuela due to his involvement in Operation Alacran.
