What happened
The National Assembly released the names of 127 civil-society applicants for the Judicial Nominations Committee, beginning the public stage of a selection process tied to senior judicial posts.
Why it matters
The publication of the applicant list starts a concrete institutional process that can shape who screens or advances candidates for the country's top judicial positions. In Venezuela, those posts affect court administration, constitutional adjudication, and the legal framework applied to political actors.
Venezuela's National Assembly published a list of 127 civil-society applicants to join the Judicial Nominations Committee. That committee is the body that will prepare or filter nominations for Supreme Tribunal magistrates, the head of the School of the Judiciary, and the inspector general of courts. The move opens the next visible phase of judicial appointments at a time when control of legal channels remains central to the state's handling of opposition figures and any future bargaining over political guarantees.
