Delcy Rodríguez solicitó investigar a jueces señalados de cobrar por amnistías #9May – El Impulso

Acting President Delcy Rodríguez Gómez announced on May 9, 2026, that the Venezuelan government is seeking a formal investigation into judicial officials accused of soliciting and accepting bribes in exchange for granting amnesties. The announcement was made during a presentation regarding the progress of the Program for Democratic Coexistence and Peace, a government initiative aimed at addressing systemic social and political frictions.

The call for an investigation targets judges who have allegedly leveraged their positions to monetize the legal process of amnesty. According to reports from El Impulso, the administration intends to identify and penalize those who have compromised the integrity of the judicial system by treating legal pardons as financial transactions.

The announcement occurred as part of a broader balance report on the Program for Democratic Coexistence and Peace. Rodríguez Gómez described this program as the pilar fundamental or fundamental pillar for the construction of a diverse Venezuela. The initiative is designed to serve as a framework for national dialogue and the resolution of long-standing conflicts between different political and social sectors.

Identification of Critical Knots

A central component of the balance report presented on May 9, 2026, was the identification of what the government terms nudos críticos, or critical knots. These knots are defined as systemic obstacles or structural bottlenecks that hinder the progress of society and prevent the effective implementation of peace and coexistence policies.

Based on the findings of the program, the Venezuelan government has identified the judicial system and the national economy as the two most significant critical knots currently affecting the population. The administration suggests that without resolving these two areas, the broader goals of social stability and democratic coexistence cannot be fully realized.

The judicial knot is specifically linked to the issues of corruption and the lack of transparency in legal proceedings, as evidenced by the recent allegations of bribery within the amnesty process. The government indicates that the ability of the state to provide impartial justice is essential for the legitimacy of the Program for Democratic Coexistence and Peace.

The economic knot refers to the ongoing financial challenges and structural instabilities that continue to impact the daily lives of Venezuelan citizens. The administration views the stabilization of the economy as a prerequisite for reducing social tension and fostering a more inclusive environment for political diversity.

The Amnesty Law and National Reconciliation

The government has positioned the Amnesty Law as a primary tool for achieving a national reencuentro, or reencounter. The law is intended to facilitate the reintegration of individuals into society and to lower the political temperature by providing a legal path for the resolution of past conflicts.

Officials have stated that the decision to implement the Amnesty Law was the correct course of action to foster reconciliation among Venezuelans. However, the effectiveness of this law is now tied to the government’s ability to purge the judiciary of corrupt actors who may be undermining the law’s intent for personal gain.

The Program for Democratic Coexistence and Peace continues to operate as the administrative vehicle for these efforts. By identifying the critical knots in justice and economy, the government aims to create a roadmap for reforms that align with its stated goal of building a society that accommodates diverse political viewpoints while maintaining legal order.

The investigation into the judges will proceed as part of the government’s broader effort to clean up the judicial branch, which is viewed as a necessary step to ensure that the benefits of the Amnesty Law are granted based on legal merit rather than financial influence.

The balance presented by Rodríguez Gómez on May 9, 2026, serves as a status update on these objectives, signaling a shift toward addressing the internal corruption that threatens the government’s peace and coexistence agenda.
