Indira Maira Alfonzo Izaguirre is a Venezuelan judge. Until May 2020, she served as the first vice president of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Venezuela (TSJ) and as president of the Electoral Chamber. In June 2020, she was elected and sworn in as chief rector and president of the National Electoral Council by the TSJ.[1]

Magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice

Being the president of the Electoral Chamber, Alfonzo presided over and drafted the sentence in which the possession of the deputies of the Amazonas state was suspended a few days after the 2015 parliamentary elections were held, leaving the state without representation in the National Assembly to the coalition opponent of the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) without a qualified two-thirds majority, as well as the sentence that suspended the 2018 Carabobo University student elections, ordering the university authorities to proclaim the student candidate for government, Jessica Bello, in place of Marlon Díaz, who had already been proclaimed and sworn in after having obtained 82.6% of the votes.[2]

Sanctions

Responding to the May 2018 Venezuelan presidential election, Canada sanctioned 14 Venezuelans, including Alfonzo,[3] stating that the "economic, political and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has continued to worsen as it moves ever closer to full dictatorship."[4] The government said the 2018 presidential election was "illegitimate and anti-democratic",[3] and sanctioned Alfonzo, along with 13 other members of the ANC and TSJ.[5]
