Elvis Eduardo Hidrobo Amoroso (born 4 August 1963) is a Venezuelan politician and lawyer who currently serves as the Comptroller General of Venezuela as of 23 October 2018. He also holds the presidency of the Republican Moral Council (Spanish: Consejo Moral Republicano), also known as the Moral Power (Spanish: Poder Moral). In August 2017, he was elected as first and second vice president of the 2017 Constituent National Assembly and served until October 2017. He also served as a deputy to the National Assembly for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). Political career In the parliamentary elections of 1993 he was elected Deputy to the Congress of the Republic of the Radical Cause by circuit 2 of the Aragua state within the VIII Legislature . He was re-elected in 1998 with the support of the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR) and Fatherland for All (PPT). He served as secretary of the Commission Legislative National of 2000, where Alejandro Andrade served as undersecretary. He was a member of the parliamentary group of 2002 Group Boston and deputy of the National Assembly since 2006 of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), where he served as chairman of the Permanent Commission for Internal Policy of the Assembly in 2012 and as first vice president from 2015 to 2016. In 2015, he ran as magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) after losing re-election in the parliamentary elections of 6 December. However, the Venezuelan constitution and the Organic Law of the Supreme Court of Justice establish that to be a magistrate the lawyer must be at least 15 years old in the exercise of the law, a requirement that Amoroso did not meet because he graduated as a lawyer at the Bicentennial University of Aragua in 2006.
