The deal was announced on Friday and represents the first tangible step towards judicial reforms promised by interim President Delcy Rodriguez.

Both sides said in a joint statement that they had appointed a seven-member panel to review the system used to select candidates for the court and agreed to “continue the analysis and review of legislative instruments needed for the transformation of the judicial system”.

O lado do governo foi liderado pelo chefe da Assembleia Nacional Jorge Rodriguez, enquanto a oposição foi representada por Dinorah Figuera, que liderou o bloco opositor que venceu a última eleição internacionalmente reconhecida da Venezuela em 2015.

Venezuela’s interim government, which took power after the US military abducted former President Nicolas Maduro in January, has brought the country into closer alignment with the US but has been slow to deliver on promises to open up the political system.

Critics have compared the arrangement, which has included a deal granting the US control over large parts of Venezuela’s oil reserves, to those previously imposed on oil-rich nations by colonial powers such as Great Britain.

Grupos de direitos dizem que o aparato repressivo da era Maduro também permaneceu em vigor, apesar das promessas de mudança do novo governo.

Rodriguez prometeu eleições durante seu discurso na Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas (UNGA) nesta semana, mas não ofereceu um cronograma definitivo.

US President Donald Trump and Rodriguez met on the sidelines of UNGA, her first visit to the US since the abduction of her predecessor. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Trump and Rodriguez discussed restructuring billions of dollars in Venezuela’s sovereign debt.

Trump said on Friday that he spoke with Rodriguez about elections in the past week, but offered no further details.

The government and the opposition held an initial round of talks in August, when they agreed to overhaul the judicial system and win back Venezuelan assets frozen by the Bank of England.

A próxima rodada de negociações está agendada para o próximo mês.
