Chaim Jose Bucaran Paraguan (Bucaran), who along with Adolfo Ramon Superlano (Superlano), petitioned the TSJ in June 2020 to challenge the leadership of the fourth largest Maduro-opposed party, Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT), and award leadership of UNT to themselves. Their goal is to install an ad hoc UNT Board of Directors that will allow the party to participate in the December 6 parliamentary election, which the current UNT leadership opposes. Bucaran was a UNT deputy in the AN until he was expelled from the party in January 2020 for participating in a Maduro regime effort to elect a pro-regime deputy as AN Speaker by physically preventing many opposition deputies from voting. Today, Bucaran was designated pursuant to E.O. 13692, as amended, for being a current or former official of the Government of Venezuela.
