Venezuela advances judicial reform and progress is made in the reorganization of the Supreme Court

China News Service, Beijing, October 27, Caracas News: Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodriguez stated on the 26th local time that the Venezuelan government is promoting judicial reform and is committed to improving the independence and transparency of the judicial system. Those who advocate sanctions against Venezuela and promote external intervention should reflect on their positions.

According to a report by the Venezuelan National News Agency on the 26th, Rodriguez denied the question on the same day regarding the political persecution of opposition figures. She emphasized that differences should be resolved through political dialogue so that the voices of all parties can be heard.

In terms of judicial reform, Venezuela's United Radio reported on the 26th that the country is advancing the reorganization of the Supreme Court. Luis Florido, a member of the Venezuelan National Assembly, said that the National Assembly has elected 12 social representatives to form a judicial candidate selection committee together with 11 members. The candidates include university teachers, lawyers and other professions, and all have no party affiliation.

In addition to adjustments to the judiciary, legal revisions are also advancing. According to Venezuelan media Efecto Cocuyo, the government and some opposition representatives agreed on the 21st to study and amend four laws, covering the protection of political parties’ participation in politics and the disqualification process for political participation. The specific draft amendments to the law have not yet been released.

According to a Reuters report on the 26th, the United States expects Venezuela to form a new Supreme Court before the end of this year and subsequently reorganize the National Electoral Commission. Venezuela has not yet confirmed it.
