Venezuela’s National Assembly has given initial approval to a partial reform of the Organic Law of the Supreme Court of Justice. The proposed changes seek to increase the number of justices on the committee from 21 to 23, with 11 representatives. This move has sparked debate regarding the independence of the judiciary, with critics alleging it strengthens executive control. Proponents claim the reform aims to improve efficiency and address existing shortcomings within the court system. The bill still requires further discussion and approval before becoming law. Details regarding the representation breakdown remain limited, fueling concerns about political influence. The legislation's advancement represents a significant development in Venezuela’s ongoing political landscape.
