Who is Julio Borges?

Julio Andrés Borges Junyent, is a Venezuelan politician and lawyer. In the late 1990s he had a TV court show called "Justicia Para Todos" on Radio Caracas Televisión. He co-founded the party Primero Justicia in 2000 together with Henrique Capriles Radonski and Leopoldo Lopez. In the 2000 parliamentary elections, he was elected to the National Assembly, representing Primero Justicia and Miranda State until 2005. Primero Justicia participated in the last minute opposition boycott of the 2005 elections, but Borges was elected again in the parliamentary elections of 2010.

Borges ran for president in the opposition primaries for the Venezuelan presidential elections of 2006, but on August 9, 2006 dropped out to support Manuel Rosales, former governor of Zulia State. 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.
