Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, has proposed modifying the controversial “Law of Hate” – formally known as the *Ley del Odio* – originally approved by the National Constituent Assembly in 2017. The law, intended to criminalize certain behaviors, is now under review with potential changes aimed at decriminalizing some conduct. Human rights advocates view this move as an implicit acknowledgement of abuses perpetrated since the law’s implementation. They are demanding a complete repeal of the legislation, arguing it has been used as a tool of persecution and has stifled civil society in Venezuela. Critics assert the *Ley del Odio* has been instrumental in silencing dissent and dismobilizing the Venezuelan population. The call for reform marks a potential shift in the government’s approach to the law, but human rights groups remain skeptical without full abrogation. The story originated with *EL NACIONAL*.
