Venezuela: Academy Denounces TSJ Reform Law as Unconstitutional

Venezuela's Academy of Political and Social Sciences (Ancipol) declared the partial reform law of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), approved in first discussion by the National Assembly on August 27, unconstitutional, citing violation of Article 270 of the Constitution. The reform proposes including elected members of the judicial branch, which Ancipol argues undermines judicial independence. This adds to ongoing political tensions in Venezuela, but the immediate market impact is limited.
