Gabriela del Mar Ramírez Pérez is a Venezuelan politician who served as Venezuela's Ombudswoman between 2007 and 2014.
Career
[edit]Ramírez was a deputy to the National Assembly for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and served as Venezuela's Ombudswoman between 2007 and 2014.[1] During the 2014 protests, she asked to distinguish torture from "excessive or disproportionate use of force", arguing that torture happened only when used to extract confessions.[2]
In 2017 Ramírez resigned as an advisor to the legal consultancy of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice after rejecting the call of the government of Nicolás Maduro for a National Constituent Assembly without requesting a prior popular consultation,[3][4] like the 1999 Constituent Assembly did.[1]
In 2019, her ex-husband posted a video on social media saying that Ramírez was in Spain and that she worked washing dishes.[5]
