The ANC commended the president of the republic for "the importance of having convoked in a democratic manner the constituent power of the Venezuelan people to defend social guarantees."
"Treason will never come out of this ANC," Vivas stressed. "The president put himself at the service of our people and called for the election of the ANC."
At the same time, he highlighted the work of the National Electoral Council (CNE) and the Armed Forces to guarantee the peace for Venezuelans.
President Maduro celebrated the anniversary of the ANC with a message through his Twitter account.
Hoy se cumple un año de la instalación de la @ANC_ve, instrumento que nos liberó del ataque y el asedio de la derecha fascista, apátrida, que pretendía sumir al país en la violencia producto del capricho imperial del norte. Ahora vamos hacia la consolidación de la paz económica. pic.twitter.com/k9bbPsnbu7
