Venezuelan opposition

Venezuelans have taken to the streets to demand the safe return of an opposition leader and to call for presidential elections. Demonstrators are pressing for the leader's protection and for a vote that would allow a challenge to the current government. The rallies add to ongoing tensions over the country's political leadership and disputed electoral process.

Venezuela's government and opposition have agreed to work together towards reforming the country's Supreme Court, one of the most contested institutions in the country's political crisis. The two sides appointed a committee to review how justices are selected, a step watchers see as a rare instance of cooperation between the rival camps, though scepticism remains about whether it will lead to real change.
