Venezuelan interim government agrees to reform Supreme Court with opposition

The Venezuelan interim authorities and opposition leaders have struck a deal to reform the Supreme Court, marking the first concrete step after their initial August discussions. The agreement emerged from a second round of negotiations, with the United States acting as mediator. A newly created commission of seven members will study how justices are appointed to the court. The interim government, led by Delcy Rodríguez, has been in place since the beginning of the year after Nicolás Maduro's detention. These reforms aim to facilitate a shift from the previous autocratic rule toward a democratic system.
