Cepaz demanded publication of the full evaluation criteria for magistrate candidates, as required by Article 73 of the LOTSJ.
Cepaz called for public access to candidate files, not just names, and for an independent technical committee with national and international specialists.
The selection process follows an agreement between chavismo and the 2015 National Assembly to renew the entire Supreme Court.
The current Supreme Court validated Maduro's 2024 election win without publishing detailed results, as required by its own schedule.
The claims, made testable
- asserted — check unavailable Cepaz demanded publication of the full evaluation criteria for magistrate candidates, as required by Article 73 of the LOTSJ. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 489 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Judicial independence, Electoral fraud, Human rights, Political dialogue.
What would change the assessment
- If the TSJ selection process publishes the full evaluation criteria and allows public access to candidate files within 90 days, the article's implied criticism of lack of transparency would be weakened. (within 90 days — TSJ official website or official gazette)
- If the CNE publishes detailed election results for the 2024 presidential election within 365 days, the article's claim of lack of transparency would be contradicted. (within 365 days — CNE official website)
