Information About

Justice First




Justice First (''Primero Justicia'') is a Political Party in Venezuela . It claims to offer an alternative to the government of Hugo Chávez .

Primero Justicia was created in 1992 as a Civil Association by a group of young people under the leadership of Dr Alirio Abreu Burelli , a magistrate of the Venezuelan Supreme Court of Justice and vice president of the Inter-American Court Of Human Rights of the Organization Of American States (OAS).

This group of university students, concerned about what they saw as a deterioration of judicial power in the country, joined their efforts to contribute to the reform of Venezuela's legal system.

The association entered the political arena as a result of the 1999 Constitutional Convention , during which they presented a draft for the country's New Constitution .

At the Legislative Elections held on 30 July 2000 , the party won five out of the 165 seats in the National Assembly .

This political movement's presidential candidate for the 2006 Presidential Elections is Federal Deputy Julio Borges .
