Venezuela Hate Law Reform Replaces Prison with Fines

Venezuela's proposed reform of the Constitutional Law against Hate would replace 10-20 year prison sentences with economic fines and rename the law to the Law for Democratic Coexistence, Peace and Tolerance. The shift signals a potential softening of state repression tools, though details on fine amounts and enforcement remain unclear. This marks a notable reversal from the original law's punitive approach, but its practical impact depends on implementation.
