Venezuelan opposition demands immediate repeal of Hate Law

Venezuelan opposition leader Rodríguez and the Democratic Unity Platform have confirmed a legislative push to repeal the 'Hate Law,' alleging its misapplication and abuse against dissidents and journalists. This move signals an escalating political confrontation with the Maduro government, whose ruling party controls the National Assembly, making the prospects of repeal uncertain. Concurrently, Venezuelan officials, including Delcy Rodríguez, are reportedly promoting reforms to the law, which critics view as an attempt to legitimize or adjust a repressive legal framework.
