The interim government signed an oil agreement with the US, allegedly giving Washington control of 55% of over 65,000 million barrels of proven reserves.
The agreement covers 17 strategic fields and aims to attract $100 billion in private investment.
The author claims the agreement violates Article 12 of Venezuela's constitution, which states that hydrocarbon deposits are property of the Republic and inalienable.
The government of Delcy Rodríguez is said to have granted rights for 25 years to US companies.
