This Friday, May 22, the president in charge Delcy Rodríguez insisted on the need to unify efforts of all State Powers to guarantee an efficient and just justice system.

From the Miraflores Palace, the president in charge pointed out that this effort must address three aspects that she said fuel a justice system that does not respond to the country's needs.

As the first point to be addressed, he specified that the eradication of the procedural delay must be promoted, which he considered will have as its starting point the reform of the Organic Law of the Supreme Court of Justice, which increases the number of judges per chamber, a fact that he considered will increase in greater judicial activity.

“I also ask that technological platforms be incorporated in this direction, since artificial intelligence is helping tremendously against procedural delay,” he asked.

He then pointed out that the second aspect to combat is judicial corruption. “We have heard it through the program of democratic coexistence in different sectors, and judicial corruption is a problem for everyone and everything, well we are going to address it, that must be resolved definitively and seeking these spaces for criminal justice reform must also have control mechanisms that prevent corruption from being imposed on judges,” he said.

In this regard, he indicated that the third aspect is the criminalization of poverty, denouncing that it is currently evident “that there is an inverted pyramid in terms of the criminalization of behavior where 68% of people deprived of their liberty are from the least favored economic and social strata of our country.”
