The Venezuelan president, Delcy Rodríguez, announced a legal initiative during the Supreme Court's judicial year opening, aiming to address political prisoners. The proposed law excludes those convicted of serious crimes and emphasizes avoiding vengeance. Currently, there are 711 political prisoners according to Foro Penal, despite government denials. Some political figures, like María Corina Machado, attribute the initiative to US pressure, while others, including Henrique Capriles, see it as a positive step. The proposal comes amid improved relations with the Trump administration and includes plans to repurpose a notorious detention center. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
