First of all, about the media, I can give you the actual numbers so that you can judge for yourselves. There are 656 privately owned radio stations, 243 community stations, and only 79 are state-owned throughout the country.
As for TV stations, there are 65 TV stations, which are 60%; 37 community stations, which are 35%; and only 6 state TV stations across the nation.
By the way, the community TV and radio is not state. The government isn't there. It's the actual communities, not the state telling the community what to do. So if people say that there isn't private media, there are the numbers to see.
But the judicial system is important, because the Venezuelan judicial system has been called the Cinderella of the powers of the country because it had the worst reputation because of systemic corruption, and, as I mentioned before, the previous governments refused to reform it.
It is very hard to eradicate corruption in the judicial system, but when the government tries to reform it then the opposition cries foul and says it's intervening and politicizing. All this has changed. There is now wide access to justice, basically. Things are never as perfect as they can be, and it will probably take a new generation of lawyers and judges to fully control the thing, but, for example, before, the judges were elected by who you knew, through the party or through your friends. Now there is a parliamentary committee composed of civil society members and parliamentary members, and after several screenings and processes they then choose a judge. Before, no one even knew how judges were chosen.
