Venezuela civil group demands independent TSJ, CNE candidate selection

Súmate, a Venezuelan civil society organization, publicly demanded that the selection of candidates to renew the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) and the National Electoral Council (CNE) comply with the Constitution, include effective civil society participation, and avoid partisan or economic interference. The demand signals ongoing pressure on the government over institutional independence, though it is a statement rather than a concrete action. The outcome of the renewal process remains uncertain and will test the government's responsiveness to such calls.
