Maduro vetoes amnesty that could see political prisoners freed from jail

The administration has won not only because of the present constitution but also because the five justices on the Constitutional Court share the political values of the self-proclaimed Bolivarian Revolution.
He may also send it to the Supreme Court of Justice, where the Constitutional Court will decide whether the law violates the Constitution.
The opposition-led National Assembly has approved the National Amnesty and Reconciliation Law, a measure that would see 78 political prisoners freed.
But, the court blocked the investitures and the opposition chose not to get bogged down in a political quarrel over three votes.
The court struck the measure down saying the National Assembly lacks the authority to “review, annul, revoke or not respect” the appointments made.
