The National Assembly approved in first discussion a reform to the Organic Law of the Supreme Court, increasing the Judicial Postulation Committee from 21 to 23 members, giving civil society a majority with 12 members.

Opposition deputy Juan Miguel Matheus, part of the negotiating delegation, called the reform a 'real result' of the dialogue that began on August 6.

Matheus stated the reform is a victory for the country and a step toward rebuilding the Venezuelan justice system.

Jorge Rodríguez, president of the National Assembly, attributed the judicial renewal initiative to the government's own process, omitting that it was truncated by negotiations with the opposition.
