Venezuela’s National Assembly (AN) has established a preliminary committee tasked with selecting new magistrates. The committee is composed of eight deputies from the ruling party and three representatives from the opposition. This approval occurred within the context of dialogue between the administration of Delcy Rodríguez and representatives of the AN-2015. The ruling party, often referred to as “chavismo,” again holds the majority and leadership position within the committee. This development raises concerns regarding the impartiality of the selection process, given the dominant influence of the government. The formation of this committee is a key step in restructuring the judicial branch within Venezuela. Further developments are expected as the committee begins its work to choose the new magistrates.
