Maduro held a meeting of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Treaty of Commerce of the Peoples (Alba – TCP) on Friday.

Venezuela Urges 10 Other Countries to Adopt Its Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency — Alba-TCP meeting.

During the meeting, “Maduro called on the countries of the Alba to assume together the creation of the cryptocurrency, the petro,” Prensa Latina reported.

“I call on us to assume the petro as an integration currency of our peoples,” Efecto Cocuyo quoted him, adding that it is “imperative” to take the proposal with “maximum priority.” Maduro was then quoted by El Comercio:

I put on the table, brother governments of the ALBA, the proposal of the cryptocurrency, the petro, so that we assume it as one of the projects of the integration of the 21st century in a bold way, but also in a creative way.

An Ongoing Issue

Since its announcement in early December, Venezuela’s national cryptocurrency has been a topic of controversy. After assigning over 5 barrels of crude oil to back the new currency, Maduro ordered the issue of the first 100 million petros as well as organized a meeting of miners.

The petro is expected to launch in 6 weeks and will be pre-mined, Superintendent of Cryptocurrencies Carlos Vargas announcedthis week.

However, just one day before Vargas’ announcement, the Venezuelan Constituent National Assembly declared the cryptocurrency illegal. Parliamentarians unanimously voted “absolute nullity on the issuance of the petro cryptocurrency,” news.Bitcoin.com previously reported.

In a recent workshop hosted by the Central Bank of Venezuela called “The role of Venezuelan youth in disruptive technologies,” a response to the Assembly’s decision was prepared. On Friday, the Minister for Youth and Sports, Pedro Infante, said Venezuelan youth will propose to the Assembly “to create a special commission that will be in charge of debating the proposals presented by the various sectors, to carry out the financial system of the cryptocurrency Petro.” He elaborated, as posted on the Ministry of Communications website:

We are proposing that the ANC [Constituent National Assembly] has to set up a special commission to deal with the cryptocurrency issue. Appoint a commission with groups of experts to constantly debate to see what legislation is needed.

Ezeugo For Idemili North Constituency in Anambra State House of Assembly 2019.

As a youth leader, I Ezeugo will support law that will better the Rights of women, young people (youth) and the destitute (poor). In our society, we have three numerical majorities, these three majorities include the youth, women and the poor none of these classes are satisfied with their participation in the country economy, politics or administration. The poor, women and youth still lack the kind of support by legislative bodies that would allow them to represent their voices and demands within the context of the of the law. Effective representation will pay a positive role in changing their living conditions and make their voices heard. For this reason Ugochukwu Ezeude - Ezeugo programs tackles various aspects and will also help fight against poverty. Together we can make it happen and better. I stand with Ezeugo for better tomorrow. I stand for the truth.
