Julio Andrés Borges Junyent (born 22 October 1969) is a Venezuelan politician and lawyer. In the late 1990s, Borges hosted a TV court show called "Justicia Para Todos" (Spanish: Justice for All) on Radio Caracas Televisión. He later co-founded the party Primero Justicia in 2000 along with Henrique Capriles and Leopoldo López.[2]
Borges ran for president in the opposition primaries for the Venezuelan presidential elections of 2006, but on 9 August 2006 dropped out to support Manuel Rosales, former governor of Zulia State.[3] Borges was involved in an incident in the National Assembly in April 2013, when violence broke out between PSUV and opposition legislators following the 2013 presidential election. According to Borges, the members of PSUV stood up at the beginning of the assembly and rushed the opposition.[4]
In 2020, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Venezuela ordered his arrest for allegedly participating in the 2018 Caracas drone attack against Nicolás Maduro. On 13 July 2020, the Attorney General's Office issued an arrest warrant for the alleged crimes of treason,[5] usurpation of functions and association to commit crimes. On 16 January 2023, the attorney general appointed by the Constituent Assembly, Tarek William Saab, announced that the Public Ministry has requested a third arrest warrant against Borges, charged for participating in the 2019 uprising attempt of 30 April.[6]
